Southeast Washington | Here is my 2017 SRW 3500. It lives on the farm, stop and go, most runs are under 15 miles. Pulls farm trailers and headers. It has equipment and dogs in the cab so nobody else runs it. Used to feed small bales to 30 head of cows on the ground daily so lots of idling in 4 lo. Pretty much abused on farm in the dirt and mostly low speeds. It may get a few 70 mile runs each year. It is mine for the farm and they don't let me have fun to go chase parts so it gets about 12,000 miles to a set of tires. Have changed 1 Def heater on it. This past fall the ignition tumbler wore out from so many key on and out and on and off cycles. It is a WT so no fob. Steering wheel was locked up outside cold so just picked it up and backed the trailer under it to get new tumbler and we replaced the glow plugs. Our gas engines we used to have wouldn't take our farm abuse and we gave had Chevy and Ford gas and diesel.
Anyway 59,000 miles of farm use and 14.3 mpg lifetime on 95 percent short runs. Harvest time may be total of 4 miles some days. No delete and 6 speed.
I have my own personal 20 with a 10 speed that usually pulls a trailer with better lifetime than that and it has had one Def heater but a few electrical issues that doesn't matter whether gas or diesel. Get whatever you want because it doesn't bother me.
