Yes I love my truck. I have had a couple of emissions problems covered under warranty. I also have read some of the fuel pump horror stories and I would be a liar if it doesn't cross my mind now and then. Funny thing was I thought maybe I should get a gasser and guess what. I found some horror stories about those motors also.
If you plan on pulling a lot you will absolutely love a diesel. Mine is a pleasure to drive and tow with. Fantastic in the mountains pulling a 12k Fiver and great for my 4k TC when wet. I plan on keeping mine for a long time.
Surely you can find a gasser for the job, but they just might break also. Who knows.
For me pulling with my diesel is one of the funnest parts of traveling. 65 mph pulling around 15 hundred RPMS is truly a pleasure.
Not knocking gassers either, just saying
