Why are people fixated with the cost of the diesel option? If you trade the diesel in, the $8,000 option doesn't disappear. It's not a cost off ownership factor. You don't need carpet, better radio, nav, leather or a sunroof either. It's no different than going from the base 5.7 to the 6.4 Hemi or the base 3.5 Ford to a 3.5 EB. It cost $2300 dollars more for the 3.5 EB over the base 3.5. I don't hear anyone saying that impacts ownership. No one says that paying $60,000 for a Laramie Longhorn with a 6.4 is hurting the cost of ownership. But when someone spends $45,000 on an SLT 6.7 CTD then they ridicule the diesel option.
