If a truck is older than say 2015, has dings, scratches or mud. It's probably their work truck. If it's lifted, clean, etc. It's a pavement princess. Ive also heard that a lot of those trucks that are diesel having constant problems because they aren't hauling or driving long enough to get the engine nice and hot to burn some of the build up. Never owned a diesel so don't @ me.

Its the particle filter that needs a good burning every once in a while. Otherwise it gets clogged and can't filter anymore and also reduces your exhaust flow.

It is indeed a problem with many diesel cars that are only used for city drives. As for the driving itself diesel is more chill than gasoline because the maximum torque is reached at lower rpm and it is more difficult to stall the engine than a gasoline engine so manual gear is easier.
