My father figured it would take 5-6 years to break even if he got the
Cummins instead of the HEMI in his Ram. That was a $5500 difference (or
thereabouts) on the sticker.
Something tells me you'd have to have the Dak a ridiculously long time,
or drive a *lot* of miles (says the guy driving 100 miles/day, 5
days/week, just to get to work) to pay off.
