Plenty of power and comfortable to drive and has good fuel economy.
Good strong truck, lots of towing power. Very comfortable to ride in. Gets good fuel economy about 18 mpg. Has plenty of power and looks good. Fuel cost is higher because it is a diesel engine but the engine life will be longer. Repairs are higher but fewer of them then a gas engine.

Named the longest lasting vehicle made.
I have had my truck for 3 years now not one problem had it given me. A great vehicle. Very comfortable and dependable vehicle. Great for hauling, camping and taking long trips. Very low maintenance. Great running vehicle no overheating problems. It has a large bed with a camper shell making it a great vehicle for camping can sleep in the bed of the truck. Heating and cooling system work great.

It's got the power to haul whatever you need to. It has great towing ability.
It's getting a little older and up there in miles, so the upkeep is getting higher and higher.

It's reliable, has served me well, and is still very capable of working.
I own a Chevy Silverado 3500. I use it for side jobs, and do a lot of hauling and towing with it. I like the room that it has available (both in the cab and in the bed), the towing capacity, and the amount it can haul. The only thing I don't like, it the low gas mileage, but it's expected with a bigger engine.
