LOLOLOLOL, then your hemi was junk thenLOLOLOL
Really, this is very funny as hellLOLOLOL
You must not have a very high IQ. I won't bother engaging with you, it will clearly get me nowhere.
You know absolutely nothing about the Ecodiesel. Just another "hater" who's never driven one, casting judgement on something they know nothing about.
For everyone else:
What I said holds true. I had both, I've towed a fair bit with both. I loved my 2014 1500 Longhorn Hemi (3.92 gears too..) And I love my Ecodiesel. There is nothing wrong with either engine. The Ecodiesel may not be as fast, but as most of you know torque gets trailers moving, and they've got nearly identical torque numbers.
on tow charts i've seen, the advantage goes to the hemi. for what the op says he will tow, this is a non issue.
you may have saved 1300.00 but you paid a premium for the diesel. i would assume the op understands this and try do his own math on whether or when he will hit a break even number.
you also have to factor in the DEF fluid when considering fuel mileage.
maintenance is more expensive as are engine repairs.
couldn't find one on the lots near me to even test drive. i do like diesels.
no one knows the outcome of the EPA investigation. a new tune might kill mpg and HP. might have to buy back like VW, i doubt owners will be happy with pay out. maybe nothing will happen, not likely though.
again for the OP, a V6 star engine will do everything described and do it well.
Yes, I did pay a premium for the diesel, but remember diesels have a higher resale value. The $1300 was based off 1 year of driving for me. That will multiply year after year. 3 years and it has paid for itself.
Oil changes are $20 more than my Hemi, but I change the oil 5000 KMS later with this than the Hemi (15,000 kms vs 10,000). DEF is miniscule. $20 every 12,000- 15,000 kms depending on how much towing/city driving you do. If someone is too cheap to pay $150 over the life of a vehicle, than they shouldn't be buying new anyway.
I'm not concerned with engine repairs as I buy new every 4 years or so. I generally always have warranty to rely on.
