Sorry I don't want to offend, but rare is the diesel pickup sold that saves the owner money in the long run. A salesman with heavy samples,business service truck, tractor jockey or livestock drover with a trailer.The high mile owners with heavy loads are the only winners.
A GMC pickup here with the diesel and required HD auto trans is 10,000 grand extra plus sales tax here.
The trade value won't matter because the truck will be 15 years old and rusted through when the diesel breaks even on cost.When you calculate in the extra interest on the purchase price.
Are you going to drive the truck another 10 years to get ahead on fuel savings?
A 15-25 year old truck will cost more to repair than what its worth.
