Hello, I really want to buy a new truck. I have a 2006 Ram 2500ST, with the Cummins, G56, A/C and Cruise. Its been an awesome truck for what I use it for, Landscaping, Snowplowing, Hunting and Fishing. I tow a 3500lb trailer with it(I know its not much) to mow grass. I drive it a few miles to first lawn and shut it off. Drive another mile or two and shut it off. And so on.
My question is: Would this kind of use be ok for new 2012 with all emissions crap? I really want new truck with, god forbid, Power Windows and Locks. Heated Mirrors and other goodies. I just don't work it hard enough to keep emissions clean. I'm afraid I'll be having issues. On the other hand, I'd hate to step down to a HEMI, but maybe that is what I need to do for my applications. Advice please.

Hemi Express = half the $, if money is no object sure why not a 6.7

The Express is a hell of a lot of truck for the money and will yank 5k around town like it's not even back there.

I don't have first hand experience, since I own a 12 valve. But, from all that I have read, your driving habits won't be DPF friendly.
