2) Here's where you'll find me disagreeing with a lot of folks here. Unless you've had a diesel before, or you're driving 25-30,000 miles per year, or you're CONSTANTLY towing a trailer in excess of 10,000 lbs., then stay away from the diesel. If you don't need it, then why spend the extra 5 grand? Yes, the 6.0 has had problems in the past, but I think you'll find most of them cleared up by now. But with any diesel, there are additional maintenance costs. Oil changes run $70-80, for example. Some folks on this site will tell you that you MUST have a diesel, but then they're real good at spending other people's money. I've never been comfortable doing that.
Jeff is right on with this post and many previous diesel owners like myself are very pleased with the new V10.
In the past I chose the diesel engine to get the max tow ratings, now with the new 3 valve V10, you can get the same tow ratings as the diesel.
Good luck with whatever you choose.
