Message: [QUOTE="Chin Diesel, post: 5133935, member: 34"] My dilemma with the older Tundras is fuel economy. I realize any truck is a major compromise with fuel economy but it's the mid-2020's and I want a full-size truck that can get me somewhere in the low 20's. I'd be lucky to get 17-18 mpg in a Tundra. I drove a RAM 1500 Rebel last night with the 3.0L diesel. Drove pretty good. From I've read, that 3.0L diesel is a strong performer. My dilemma is better gas mileage with a diesel, but diesel costs more than gas. Probably a longer engine life, but higher service costs and sustainment costs. And, similar to what [USER=155]@Northbound[/USER] said, they're better until they're not. 2021 and newer models are the third generation of that engine and it seems like RAM hit the sweet spot with it. So, of course, they no longer offer that engine as an option. [/QUOTE]
