[QUOTE="bglf83, post: 16816817, member: 12312"] I have a 2015 Diesel Jetta and a 2016 Diesel Canyon. The Canyon did experience some emissions problems early but it was a first year model. I think the new ones have all that resolved. I say all that to say, I would expect the Rams to be solid, it’s not a first year. I plan to look at a Diesel Wrangler next year with the same motor. I do not see people on the JL forums having issues with them. As for fuel costs, it’s about the same as premium gas. The big difference with Diesel that you will actually get what the sticker says or better (confirm on Fuelly). Often the mileage separation between a Diesel and a gas truck in real world conditions (e.g., 75 MPH on the highway or driving in the city) is probably 7 or more MPGs (26 mixed vs 19). The maintenance crap is a myth if you change your own oil. It might cost 1 or 2 dollars more per quart, that’s all. This is not a medium duty 6.7l that holds a crap ton of oil. I do prefer the way the Diesel drives, especially on the highway. I can drive either of the Diesel vehicles I have over 600 miles (high highway mix) before stopping for fuel, which is really convenient. Even if you do a lot of city miles, you will get 500 miles a tank. I towed a 2 door Jeep Wrangler on a car hauler with the Canyon and still averaged over 20 MPGs on a 400 mile trip while driving 65 mph. [/QUOTE]
