Welcome to the site
First the pros:
Better mpg than gasser for sure
More power than a gasser
Better tunability( you can get alot more power with simple add ons)
Longer lasting if maintained
Will pull the heck out of most anything
The cons:??????
Seriously the only one I can think of is price of fuel

pros: can't complain about the power department, solid ride, excellent tunability and reliability.
Cons: nothing really other than it's a big truck and hard to find yourself around small parking lots, haha, but if you drive one you don't care.
