2014 RAM Diesel 1500

There are quite a few different variables,but the main thing about it is a diesel will pull a load better and easier than a gas motor no matter what it is.My 06 2500 5.9 Mega Cab diesel has 175k on it and still runs great while getting 20 plus(DON'T EVER GO BY THE "LIE-O-METER").As long as you maintain your vehicle and don't abuse it to within an inch of it's life,it will last you forever and get better mpg than a gas motor while doing whatever you want it to do.I honestly wouldn't own a diesel newer than a 12 because of all the emissions BS on them.It is truly more trouble than they are worth.Especially since you can literally buy a decent house for the price of a new truck,including the 1500.If I were you and had my heart set on one,I would wait til the 16 Ram came out because by that time the technicians, the guys who actually work on these trucks will know if they are worth having or not.Anytime I consider buying a new vehicle I go straight back to the shop and talk to the guys who actually turn wrenches on them.Never listen to a salesman because all they want from you is a sale and all any of them really know about what they are selling is what they have read in a booklet in the showroom.My biggest concern with the 1500 diesel trucks would be the frame.Do you know if they are beefed up like the 2500-3500?Might be better off just getting a good used 2010-2012 model gen. 4 and saving some cash.A new diesel will get horrible milage at first anyway.It doesn't get good until you rack up a bunch miles on them.

Best bet is to really just check out some of the diesel forums and find out what the guru's have to say about it.Good luck with it and let us know what you find out.I've been curious about the new 1500 as well.
