I think it depends on your expected use of it. For me, I bought the diesel when my trailer got to the 8000# range. 3/4 ton diesel just did a better job for me. Bought a new trailer, 10000# and couldn't tell much difference in tow load. Bought a 2012 Cummins with the thought of retiring and going from towing 10000 miles a year to more like 30000. I want to get 15 years out of the truck; quite possibly my last TV. If the body and other stuff hold up I'm confident the motor will. If you are only pulling a few thousand miles a year and have plenty of extra capacity with a smaller gas engine and do a lot of short city miles, the gasser is probably more suited to your needs. At least consider the 3/4 ton. It will give you a lot more upgrade room for the near future.
