I just placed an order for a 1500 laramie ecodiesel but found a bunch of sites that have me concerned that I may have made a mistake. First off, I have ZERO experience with diesel.
I had a 2013 Ram 1500 v8 that I loved and the only thing I wanted more from it was better guess mileage. Obviously this got me thinking ecodiesel. In my mind it was the perfect match.
I rarely tow anything but enjoy my trucks as simple commuters for local and long distance trips.
However, I am reading many posts about the smell espeically in the cabin. I have 2 young girls and do not want to expose them to any of that. Some people seem to say there is no smell at all. Others say it is normal diesel smells and every ecodiesel truck will have. The final group says the smells are so bad they can't drive the truck and wish they never bought it.
Please post your personal experience with this and how often/how bad it is. Based on my wants, would you recommend it or tell me to maybe go pentstar or go ford ecoboost?
