Need some advice on a vehicle purchase

[RamIt]

Ha I'm not poking at my wife, and definately not yours. Heck I almost put diesel in her durango two days ago. The main thing for us and her would be she don't need it. The little dmax would be something I'd like to know more about though. My biggest fear with it would be if the technology to make it the way we like it is available.

Completely understand where you're coming from though! But to be honest, I don't need a diesel either. I don't tow or haul. I got mine for the economy and power. Plus, I do a good amount of trail riding, so I like having something that can make a ton of torque at a low RPM. My wife doesn't NEED a Cummins, by any sense. But her must haves are comfort, ease of ingress/egress, and power; and the Canyon only covers the first two. The 2.8 Duramax is nice, its torquey for what it is. But in comparison to my Cummins, it's a dog. EFI can take care of that and almost double the power numbers, but that's STILL half the power of the Ram.

Ya I just don't think my wife could take the solid axle of a heavy duty ram for her vehicle. She complains about riding in mine alot LOL. Unless were towing the camper, then it rides like a Cadillac. Not to keep bringing up gas, but my buddy has a chevy high Country with a 6.2. It rides nice, has good power, and he's claiming 21 mpg. Not the low end torque you're looking for though, but more than a little dmax.

Well as far as ride quality goes, mine loves how my Ram rides with the Carli suspension, plus I have a 2500 to your 3500, which will definitely ride different. I know the gasser trucks (especially GM) have the cylinder shut down, but I'm very apprehensive about believing a 21 MPG claim out of a 6.2L gasser. Also, diesel is very cost efficient here (in comparison to the Premium that the Benz takes :|) which is a big factor in my decision to purchase another one.

@HKBIGDADDYDIESELDAN Thank you!! This thing is a monster. She won't be getting the red key anytime soon LOL. We honestly disregarded cars until my buddy said the charger was super comfy and easy to get I and out of. The wife fell in love and the dealer made us an unrefuseable offer.

And @IGOTACUMMINS I love this color too! It was either this or the Graphite pearl, and this one won.
