Gas vs Diesel for Towing a Fifth Wheel!!!
I have some issues picking a suitable towing vehicle to haul a travel trailer. Gas vs diesel for towing a fifth wheel? Which one is better? Any suggestion?

Valhalla,
You bring up great points. I agree most if not all transportation companies look at diesels from a cost effective basis, I get that. Having driven diesels for 37years I'm bias to them I suppose.
For me pulling a fifth wheel is a no brainer with a diesel but that's MY choice and more importantly MY money. Gasoline is definately cheaper than diesel but I know for myself I appreciate the extra torque I get from my Cummins pulling on hills and I wouldn't have it any other way.
