As others have already pointed out there is no such thing as saving money with a diesel truck. Unless you really NEED a diesel truck for towing and such, there are much cheaper options out there.
My LMM has been the best vehicle that I have ever owned, without a doubt. Now 12 years old and the only things that have failed in 12 years are; TCM, one glow plug and the fuel filter head.
My fuel mileage has not been the same as @shunter but I have a dually. My in town mileage is about 13, highway mileage 18, towing a 15k 5vr 10 MPG.
My truck is bone stock beyond the tires and wheels. Left unmolested these trucks can offer many miles and years of trouble free service but again proper maintenance and upkeep ain't cheap.
