I thought about a big 3 diesel before i got my titan but decided no way. They where 14K$ more and only got 2-3more MPG. The standard gas motor was more than enough to pull my stuff.

Actually a diesel premium option on a big 3 3/4 or 1 ton runs about $4,000.00-$6,000.00 over a gasser engined P.U. comparably equipped.
When it comes to getting 200K-300K miles on your engine without any major work(Some Dodge Cummins have been known to go 500K!)......and getting 300+ H.P. and over 600 ft.lbs of torque, and still averaging 20-23 mpg diesel at 65 mph unloaded.......that can be a positive inducement.
