Gas Vs Diesel Yah-Yah-Yah!
Ok look, I understand diesels hold more storage, can hold and have heavier stuff. I also understand diesels have air bags and may/may not have a better ride and may/may not pull more and may/may not ...

The same can be said with tow vehicles, the new gas engines do a great job, and have really closed the gap with diesels. and for about $10k less.
Great job??? 475 torque compared to 1050... you’re dreaming on closing the gap and it’s more the 10 speed tranny than the gas engine.
Gas engines are quite happy to spin up at 3000rpm while the diesel may like 1500rpm.
Adjust the gearing and it's the same torque making it to the wheels.
Diesel still retains an advantage at high altitude...not because it's a diesel but because it has forced induction which makes up for the thin air.
