Diesels seem to pull better an they last longer. My father bought his 05 dmax loaded with 40k on it over a year ago for 25k, he got lucky with that one. Up here they go for more than kbb value. His truck gets better gas mileage pulling an normal driving than gas but with the cost of diesel Idk if they come out ahead to much unless you pull stuff. We have full synthetic in his truck from the motor to the gear boxes and on highway he gets around 24 hand calculated if I'm not mistaken. It might be more sense we did a few things to it sense we last checked.
