Diesel Vehicles traditionally have better resale value than their gas counterparts and it's even truer in pickups. And I'm not taking in dollars I'm talking in regards to % of cost new.All i said was the diesel isnt going to be double the milage of the gas. Also you cant say something will have a higher resale value when it will cost more to begin with. if Car A and B both cost 20k but one resales at 15k and the other resales at 10k then car A has a higher resale value but if Car A cost 30k and car B cost 20K then obviously car A will have higher resale. I'm sorry to sound like a diesel hater, I'm not. I love diesel but anything made after 2006 is not a wise choice due to the EPA. I just try to educate people on what the EPA has done to diesels so that maybe they will think when they are voting.
