Would you buy diesel again?
Those of you that have a newer diesel truck, 2015 and up, would you do it again?

One thing not mentioned here is owning a diesel and living hundreds of miles from the closest dealer or diesel qualified mechanic..
When I lived in McCall Idaho I owned a diesel pickup and the closest qualified place to work on one was 100 miles away in Boise Idaho..Now I live 100 miles north and am still 80+ miles from the closest dealer(Lewiston Id) and qualified mechanic,until just recently.
Someone saw the opportunity and started a diesel repair shop here in town and it's packed with business from logging trucks/tractors/graders/dozers etc and yes.pickup trucks.
Atleast once a week I see a diesel pickup coming in on a flatbed wrecker and dumped off to get it running again....
So I won't be buying another diesel pickup gain..Two reasons..My location and rolling the dice on a used unit just is not worth any rewards it may or may not have over a strong gas engine.
