I'm looking to buy a diesel truck but what is the best truck on the market right now from Dodge What are the goods and bad about owning a diesel truck VS gasoline driven?

diesel gets better gas mileage and is high in torque. and diesel engines can last up to 1,000,000 miles.but the down side about diesel is its almost 5 dollars a gallon and they are loud trucks. gas engines are quieter but still deliver a pretty good sum of horsepower they might not have as much torque but they do the job most of the time. diesel is also much more expensive to maintain gas is not. [Not true, A diesel trucks needs only oil changes, and filter changes. Whereas a gas truck will require plugs, wires, EGR sensors etc to maintain] on which truck to get i would have to say the Dodge Cummins diesel this is a beautiful engine its better than fords diesel and chevy's diesel and its strong. get a truck that fits you. if you want a diesel get the dodge Cummings if you want a gas truck get the F-150 its the best selling gas truck on the road.

If you tow, haul heavy loads or work your truck in any way. Then the only option is a diesel. They run circles around the gas engines. If you are using the truck solely for transportation because you prefer the truck style of vehicle, then a gas engine would be a better choice.

To own a diesel you must become a diesel person as these engines are different from gas engines and require different knowledge and thinking than a gas engine does. A properly maintained diesel will be just as reliable as a gas engine, and be cheaper to maintain over the life of the engine.

They can be a handful, especially in winter climates, but the benefits clearly outweigh the drawbacks. The new Duramax engines are very quiet. They tow so well that the most common complaint is that people forget they are towing and drive too fast. The Cummins in the new Dodge Trucks are also Excellent engines. They are only noisy if you are outside the truck. If you are a Ford person try to get an older 7.3 as they are much more reliable than the new 6 liter engnes.

Diesels also have the advantage of being able to run biodiesel, making them greener than a similar gas vehicle.
