man I put 100 miles a day on my 2009 2500 gasser
got 250k on it now
when I bought the diesel/tranny upcharge was way too much though I shudder to think how gas money I've spent
I would downsize to a something like that if I knew it could drag my boat

I have 220k on my 6.0 gasser. It still pulls like a mule but you have to be liberal with the throttle to do it and you can hear the vacuum on the fuel tank when you do it.
My car has a 2 liter diesel and gets over 50 mpg on the interstate going 75. It will do well over 60mpg if I try to get that from it. It will also put the traction control to work if you give it the sugar from a stop.
Put that engine in a truck. It's tier 4 compliant, it gets ridiculous fuel mileage, it's relatively cheap to build, buy, and maintain, and would easily tow what a bigger V6 can. Make a value-minded small truck with a diesel and you'll have a home run.
The 2.8 cummins and small duramax belong in full size trucks that use V6's. These small trucks need smaller engines.
