I feel like the people bitching about emissions and DEF don't actually own a modern diesel. These things are really non issues. I dump a gallon of DEF in its tank every few thousand miles for $10 and in trade maybe the earth will be around for my kids to enjoy and their kids after. About emission choked engine produces 800ftlb of torque at 1,700rpm. I am ok with that.
Don't forget that you can get 21+ mpg on the highway with a DEF equipped truck. I love mine. Haven't had a single issue with my truck or the DEF system.
Agreed. My dually doesn't get that kind of mileage but so far it has been completely reliable and pulls like a freight train. I'm a happy camper!:B
X3... My diesel is my daily driver and now has 90k miles and not a single problem to date. I'm a happy camper as well.
Having said that all the diesel's are more complicated than the diesels 10 years ago. The DPF will eventually need to be replaced, DEF injector will probably clog up and need to be replaced... etc...etc... The more hardware and sensors these trucks have the more opportunities for things to fail. Diesels have become exponentially complicated.
