Depending on the needs and usage, the pro could be diesel. I would prefer a diesel C for longer trips, as they generally can reach double-digit fuel economy, even with a toad, whereas breaking 6 mpg with a toad seems to be a challenge on a regular C. My C gets a best of 8.5 mpg when I am not towing anything. Compare that to my old 38' DP that got 9.6 when loaded to the max and pulling an SUV behind it through the Rockies. If I were in the market for a used C and intended to drive long distances pulling a trailer or toad, I would definitely consider a diesel first.
