The way I figure, I would only buy a diesel truck with the right rear gearing in it, most modern pickups are way too deep of gears for fuel economy, and then I would never buy one of the newer diesels because they are built to drive too much like a gas, and so lose many of the benefits of a diesel (a cummins at 3500rpm? Not for me). And then I would figure on the diesel lasting long enough to buy lube in bulk, which will more than offset the cost of oil changes, and then we can figure in that diesels last longer than gas engines by far. Most of the newer pickups will not live as long as a good diesel engine, but many of the older ones are still driving with well over half a million miles on them, some with a good deal more than that. A commercial truck engine with a million miles is not very uncommon, no reason not to get the same out of a pickup if treated well. That is where I see the benefit of a diesel, most will never get that benefit in our modern throwaway culture.
