I'm now thinking that may be a good option considering towing mpg between the gassers and the diesels are almost identical from my research.
I don't know how you did your research or where you got your info but you're flat out incorrect.
Modern diesels will net you about 25 to 27% better mileage. Before emissions they would net you around 30%.
That said, the Ram gasser is a nice truck. If it fits your needs then I would consider it.
I should have put that differently. I know diesels get better mileage. What I meant was my mileage pulling my 7600# bumper pull is within 1-1.5mpg of the guys I know with new duramaxs pulling their 5vers. We are all getting about 10. They could get more but they like to pull at 75mph. I just meant that gap has closed up some with modern gas engine/drive train combos plus mpg robbing emission equipment on the diesels.
