Problem is that if they didn't offer the diesel we would be stuck with the V6 or 4cly turbo..
Meh.
The 6.4 Hemi would be a much better choice...

In a natural disaster gas always runs out... diesel is always available. Not that I’m a preper or anything. But it would be nice to know that I can burn just about anything with it..

I see... man I need to learn more about diesels.modern diesels are fussy about fuel quality so you would need an old mechanical injected diesel in those circumstances
The first EcoDiesel had a bunch of issues, but I had read that a lot of them where fixed. Also the Eco Diesel that coming out in the JT/JL/1500 for 2019+ is the Gen 2 motor. So it should be much improved.some guy ranted in the linked article comments section about his dodge/ram diesel truck being in the shop 2x/month and diesel trucks getting 50%+ worse gas mileage than regular gas trucks. Any truth to those comments? I have not seen any reports of it, but I haven't looked that hard either.
I feel like the initial launches of most modern truck diesels have gone terribly. Early Duramaxes had injector issues, Ford had multiple disasters like the sweet exhaust flamethrower lol, etc.The first EcoDiesel had a bunch of issues, but I had read that a lot of them where fixed.

Unless you have an oil furnace/boiler at home. Most home heating oil these days is the same as the low sulfur on road diesel, except for the dye . Highly illegal, but in a disaster scenario, wgaf? Also, the odds of getting caught in a regular passenger vehicle/ truck are much lower than in big rigs.modern diesels are fussy about fuel quality so you would need an old mechanical injected diesel in those circumstances
