Diesel is petroleum

Back to the question why do they offer these weird combos and packages at anything. They claim marketing research but I claim ignorance is bliss lol. I agree a RCSB Diesel would be sweet but at least we are getting the diesel in a 1500 so we can have the mileage when towing now, and torque to keep the mileage. Wonder if the GCVWR will be?
