Depends on your driving style, needs, and future plans.

Depends what you personally want and value more, but I would always choose the Hemi.

And why buy a new one already? You have a 2014 and they are literally no different.

Hemi.
Although guys that have the ecodiesel love them. Until there first out of warranty repair. Any money saved in fuel is more than eatin up.Way to expensive to fix, in my opinion.

Make your own decision so as to not have us as a crutch if you make the wrong one.

My opinion? Going diesel get a 2500.

My dad's cummins great mileage even towing.

We had like 12-15000 lbs of firewood loaded and he was getting 16.5 l/100km (stupid measurement). Somewhere around 17mpg ???

I average 17l/100 in my rcsb around town just driving haha.

Any 1500 is always going to be the top motor for me. Unless that motors a 6er. I'll take a base 8 over turbo 6 and massage it myself.
