No thank you.
To me, diesel is simple, efficient, reliable and SIMPLE. You put something in, it compresses and ignites and the engine runs. All of the electronics, Urea injection ... DEF "burnoff cycles" that end up significantly lowering the average miles ... that just ruin the appeal of a diesel.

I'm noticing that most newer work trucks are gasjobs.
