My last truck was a 05 Ram 2500. By far my favorite truck I've ever owned. Cost of ownership is by far a lot higher than a gas burner. I average 20 mpg around town which was awesome but everything else about them is very pricey. I sold it and went back to a 1500. I've got my eyes open for a new Laramie or LTZ within the next year though. I won't but then new body style Chevy though. They are butt ugly Imo
Yea, I keep hearing that the MPG savings with the diesel just aren't worth it including other costs. I wanted to test the 1500 Eco Diesel and the old man's company has a deal with Ram but in the end I am a recent college grad and buying a new car is flat out stupid with my current salary. Really just in general. And I wanna see how that Fiat diesel works.
And I love my truck now. It's just great. It just sucks down gas. All my friends are jettisoning their trucks for cars and I wanna hold on to mine and I am considering get my motorcycle license and taking the old mans old bike so I can keep both but we will see.
And I agree about the new GM vehicles. Never been a fan of them to begin with. That said they say that GM will offer a Canyon diesel and yea, it's a midget truck, but that tiny thing with a diesel may be an efficient little monster.

Tell me more about this. Educate me.

Buying a new car is flat out stupid period unless you like spending a few thousand extra for that new car smell. Find something with a few thousand miles on it already and use the money you save to buy one of those Bay Boats to go with it.

Really not that much of a difference, and certainly it won't be more cost efficient due to the higher cost of diesel fuel - if there was like a 20 or more mpg increase, then maybe, but not as it is now.
