i like cummins but they are hard to start in winter i chose gas i dont pull traillers much but cummins get good mpg usally around 20 or more thats what my friends say the gas has more **** power but less torq than cummins if it is a quad cab price it pretty close good luck

Coldest it got here this year was single digits with negative teen wind chills
Haven't plugged the truck in over 4 years and the only problem was when they stock batterie went after 7 years
