I believe the statistics are, 1 out of every 2 stations in American sells diesel. No one should be worried about were and how to get diesel. If it was an issue, Semis wouldn't be using diesel. There are diesel stations all over my neck of the woods, plus, the kind of range that diesel gets, you will defiantly run into a station before you run out of full.
Did someone say the midwest not having diesel? I would imagine that they would be the areas more populous with diesel and these are the areas with all the tractors that require diesel, as well as the more popular places to own a truck.
There is a lot more than just trucks and semis that use diesel, and around here there are a ton of tractors / farm equipment on top of a lot of trucks and semis that have diesel. Diesel stations are pretty popular around here.
What is wrong with leaf springs? The Ram does use coils yes, but it still doesn't perform like the leaf springs on the F-150. The coils might give a more comfy ride, yes, but towing went down 500lbs for one, while the F-150 actually went up recently to 11,000lbs. Plus in tests, the leafs still do better.
I am sure that a proper coil could do just as good, if not better, though the sad thing is, the Ram with the coils kind of went a step backwards compared to what they used to offer. In the comfort deparment though, they went a step forward.
Though there is nothing wrong with leaf springs. Hell, the Corvette still uses leaf springs and whips some a$$ with them as well.
