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?

  • If were strictly talking "better" it will be the diesel.

    There are many many tradeoffs between gas and diesel but diesel is a better tow engine.
  • There's a sticky over in the Tow Vehicle section - Diesel vs gas. 468 pages of reading for you.
  • If trailer is within the tow vehicles real world capabilities both can perform well

    Diesel will always have edge when it comes to towing overall.
