6.4L gas is 1 year or 12,000 miles or more often under severe conditions as defined in the manual. Less oil required. No regular fuel filter requirements. In the long run maintenance cost less.

Well during warranty period that is true, but I will run Dino oil and change every six months for about $50 (I also run Oil through Blackstone Labs $2
. Many state the cost to be astronomical, yes a bit higher, but not a deal killer for me.
Your old 2001 Laramie pulled well at about 300 hp, new one has 385 and a bunch of torque and a very nice auto for DW, (Me too).
