How do I go about calculating the difference in cost of Between a hemi and an eco-diesel 1500.
In the process of buying a truck in the next few days and I'm still undecided. I'm finding OK deals on 15 Laramies and Limited's , A sport is not so easy to find nor is the eco unless you want to buy a new 16. I like the sport slightly better then the Laramie but hard to find with air sus and sunroof. I think if I pay cash instead of lease I should get a 14-15. There are a few used with less than 10k miles on them for around 37-41k on the hemi laremie. Ecos are 46k+.
I plan on keeping it for the next 8 to 10 years, I rarely tow, and have never owned a truck before.
Is the extra cost of the Eco really worth it? The mpg is amazing, so I just don't know. Diesel here is 2.30, gas is 1.85. I only do about 15k miles a year, lots of city. I hear the Eco does about 800mi a tank vs 350m on hemi.
There must be a formula or something. Do All you 5.7 hemi guys hate your fuel mpg? Is it even and issue?
