Common Questions When Shopping for a Diesel Truck

Although the needs of each of our customers are unique, certain questions and concerns are pretty common among people shopping for a diesel truck. We are always happy to answer all your questions and discuss your options with you directly, but we also know it can be helpful to have some things figured out ahead of time. Here are some common questions we often hear:

Why do diesel trucks cost more?

In general, diesel trucks tend to cost more than similar pickups with gas engines due to the higher cost of the components in diesel engines. The way that diesel engines function means they have to be made to take a lot of abuse, which means they are expensive to build. However, the investment is more than worth it for those who can take full advantage of a diesel truck.

Can diesel trucks tow more?

Although it depends on certain factors, a truck with a diesel engine can usually handle more weight than the same truck with a gasoline engine. This is particularly true if you are looking to do some gooseneck or fifth-wheel towing. However, even though diesel trucks do not always have higher tow ratings than their gasoline counterparts, their additional low-end torque makes them easier to tow with.

Are diesel trucks more reliable?

As long as it is properly maintained, a diesel engine will often last you much longer than a standard gas engine. Diesel engines with 100,000 miles or more on them are just getting started and can easily go for thousands of miles more without needing a major rebuild.

Do diesel trucks retain more resale value?

Since they cost more upfront and have very reliable engines, diesel trucks tend to keep their value longer than trucks with gas engines. As long as you keep your diesel truck properly serviced and keep records of that maintenance, it can be an excellent investment.

Are diesel trucks more efficient?

Yes, diesel trucks are more efficient than pickups with standard gas engines. Not only does diesel fuel have more energy per gallon than gasoline, but diesel engines operate more efficiently in general, allowing them to travel further on the same amount of fuel. This higher efficiency also gives diesel trucks increased range, so you can drive further without stopping to fill up.

Are diesel trucks expensive to maintain?

There are not many more added costs with a diesel engine compared to a gas engine, but it is crucial that you have them serviced and maintained as often as necessary. This usually means about every 10,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first. However, it is important to have a diesel specialist care for your diesel truck, such as the technicians here at Rick Hendrick Buick GMC Duluth.

We Can Keep Your Truck Running Beautifully

There are some key differences between diesel trucks and pickups with standard gas engines. Diesel engines function differently, using compression to trigger ignition within the engine rather than a spark plug, but they still require a lot of the same maintenance. Oil changes and filter changes, in particular, are very important to ensure your diesel engine keeps running beautifully and provides you with fantastic power that you can rely on for a long time. Since a diesel engine can easily last for hundreds of thousands of miles, proper maintenance ensures you get everything from your truck that you should.

Here at Rick Hendrick Buick GMC Duluth, our diesel truck service center is fully equipped to help keep your vehicle in excellent shape. We can assist you with everything you need, such as oil changes, air and fuel filter changes, and checking other fluids, including brake fluid, transmission fluid, and coolant. The way that diesel engines function can be very demanding in terms of proper service and maintenance, so make sure you trust your truck with people who know how to care for it properly. Diesel trucks tend to cost more than standard gas pickups, but proper service ensures you will get your money’s worth and have a workhorse that you can count on for decades of incredible performance.
