Silverado/Sierra 3.0 Diesel for Overlanding

Why arent the SIlverado/Sierra Duramax 3.0 Diesels mroe popular for overlanding? Seems like a small diesel is the perfect engine choice for overloaded lower speed vehicles?

I'm going to trade in our current Tacoma/Four Wheel Camper setup for a full-size rig in the coming year and am currently doing research on new trucks. Seems like most people go with f150s, Tundra's or go the 3/4 ton Ram route for overlanding.

Seems like after market support is maybe why people go with other brands?

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Diesel is always the answer for the best driving experience. Lower engine RPMs, increased range and less wear/tear on mechanical parts, ie less shifts by the transmission.

All that being said the Federal Gov't has ruined diesel engines. This ruining was not done by accident. They hate diesel and if they would get their wish it would be gone tomorrow.

Why would the government hate diesel?
