Diesel only makes sense if it is needed. What terrain do you tow in? Is the tow vehicle dedicated tow rig or daily driven etc. If I did not need a diesel to tow in the mtns or if it were a daily driver I would not own one. Operating costs are much more than a gasser. My truck is only for towing and I tow in the mtns about 90% of the time so the added torque & exhaust braking makes it worthwhile for me.
