RainDesert, that is highly misleading. That truck was towed for a transmission line leaking fluid. Had nothing to do with the diesel engine.

Oh co'mon Trover. It's just a picture of a diesel on a tow. All I'm showing/stating is that you are much more likely to be in the position the picture represents, driving any modern diesel vs gas. Secondly, while the pictured truck had tranny issues, those issues are only on diesels so far.

I'm not expecting a lot of problems with my 6.7L diesel, though. I did not buy extended warranty or anything like that.

Both of my last 2 gas truck engines puked their guts out before 30k miles. One puked its camshaft lobes, valves, and lifters and Ram just threw new parts on and drained the oil and prayed that band aid would last until the warranty expired leaving me holding the bag on their defective engine.
So I went diesel this time and love it.

After driving trucks with and without adaptive steering, the adaptive steering is awesome and really changes the feel of the truck in tight situations.
The 360 degree camera setup is really nice for parking these big trucks in the city.
Spend the money on the weathertek or husky floor liners.
Don't do Fx4. Just get skid plates. The Fx4 shocks are not well reviewed.
The upfitter switches are so cheap for how trick they are, really a good investment for future proofing gadget fitting
The panoramic roof is awesome, and I thought I hated sunroofs.
If you're really looking at getting it that loaded, you sure you don't want diesel?
