I, too, grew up gas. Built and drove gas hot rods, have a couple of antique gas cars...then in my later years I bought a tt and towed with a gasser. Struggled towing with that ( a Hemi Commander), plenty of HP, what more could I ask for. I wanted to tow a bigger 5th wheel; needed a truck. Traded the Jeep for a diesel RAM...wow! Didn't know the trailer was back there, got the 5th wheel and that truck rolled up and down the Rockies with it like it was my empty non-towing Commander. When we started looking at motor homes, we only looked at diesel.
Bottom line? If I'm going to tow or drive anything that weighs more than 5000#, it will be with a diesel. I like Hp (speed, love it), but, when it comes to moving weight economically and reliably give me a diesel with lots of torque.
