Well, ****. Upon looking at the new vehicle again to check gear ratio, I have found out that the picture is a stock picture and the available truck is in fact a dually.
Still think I need to lean toward the diesel.
Currently, live in flatlands, Houston, but no telling where we will end up as we spread our wings. The mountain towing (uphill and downhill) will be a difference maker.
Thanks to everyone for the input.
What is the loaded weight of the trailer?
If money is no object, diesel is great but if it's a smaller (say 9000lb) trailer, gas is perfectly suitable even in the mountains.
Now by the time you get up around 12-14,000lb, performance with a gas engine gets marginal, particularly in mountains. It will still get you there but you will notice a distinct difference.
