U of M study

From looking at the original study back in 2013, there really isn't much of a difference in the depreciation gap between gas and diesels at the 5 year mark.

Silverado - 9% advantage for diesels.
Sierra - 10% advantage for diesels.
Ram - 1% advantage for diesels.
Ford - 13% advantage for gas.

When it comes to cars and SUVs the gap is more significant. With trucks, not so much. I'd imagine each year beyond the 5 year mark the gap slowly shrinks down to irrelevant.

So what you are saying is I get to drive a more capable truck for the same end cost.
