The baby diesels don't make a ton of sense to me. With the premium for diesel plus DEF you really don't save much in fuel cost, and you give up a lot in terms of performance. The big diesels don't save you any money either but at least there you're paying for a substantial increase in performance, especially when towing.
I'm with you. Baby diesels belong in small diesel tractors like Kubota's, not in a highway truck. I'd get the less expensive gas motor instead. Cheaper to run fuel and maintenance wise.
Diesel will always be more costly than gasoline, refiners will see to that and now you have the DEF thing too. In amedium duty truck, a gasser just makes better economic sense.
