For what your doing I would go with the Hemi you should get between 17mpg and 20mpg. the 5.9ctd you might get 20mpg but the new 6.7 CTD is very hard on fuel it only gets about 14mpg.
ur kidding right??? 17 to 20 in a non MDS hemi. when towing anything at all. definately not buying it. plus all the 6.7's are brand new. the brand new 5.9's get that kind of mileage until they are broken in. most guys barely have any miles on the 6.7. but yea I find there to be no way to get those mpg numbers in a three quarter ton hemi.

o and CTd's are just fine off road. if you'r gonna go thorugh mud pits and some really crazy stuff that you probably woulnt' even think about taking a very expensive truck through anyway. going on dirt roads and such not a problem.
