s it had the 6.0 engine. Still a good deal.
I had a 2015 Chevy 2500 with the 6.0 engine. Sold it less than a year later and went back to diesel. The truck itself was lovely, but the mileage was an abomination. Plan on driving from gas station to gas station, especially if you're towing.
Gas for half ton trucks
Diesel for anything heavier than a half ton.

You can replace the engine in a gas truck for what a bad slug of fuel will cost you with a new diesel. You can buy a wholeeeee lot of gas with the $9k option price of the diesel. Even with the shite fuel mileage, unless you tow heavy constantly, you will come out ahead with the gas burner every time.

I wasn't going to chime in because he said diesel only , but figured since we're talking fuel mileage on 3/4 tons id shed some light on the OB forbidden Ram 2500. Not all gas 3/4 tons make terrible mileage, I have the 6.4 hemi and consistently average 14.5-15.5 with mixed driving. Which isnt much less than my leveled half ton was getting
I couldnt afford the diesel premium and maintenance to go with it but dont regret my purchase at all. This engine is stout and pulls my 9k camper, tractor, jeep and anything else I want to hook up to it with ease. It has a tow capacity of over 12k and dont doubt it could handle more.
