V10 Dodge Gas truck here, my 4x4 Viper..........488 cu inch of fun in a 6200 pound truck that will do 0 to 40 in under 4 seconds.
Bought it new and zero regrets NOT getting a lumpy noisy Diesel you can hear a block away. Yes the newer Diesels are quieter, but still that is an expensive engine option new from the dealer.
Yes Diesels get better milage, but at the time of my truck purchase that was a $6500 engine option. I crunched the numbers and figured you'd pay off the engine upgrade via better MPG at 100,000 miles. ONLY then you can really say "oh goody look at all the money I'm saving"........plus in many areas, Diesel is actually sorta hard to find, where-as gas is on every street corner.
Gas $$$ is only money, but yeah with a 35 gallon tank long road trips cost a bit of change.
