one reason for diesel is the lifespan of the eng. Not many gassers will tow heavy and last 3/400K miles. I have several friends approaching 300K and still strong towing heavy ( 10K+ ) trailers. If you figure that in the added price of the truck the diesel is a good investment. I think it's better than trading every 3 yrs or so. My truck is 13 yrs old and is clean, solid, and tows very well. No payments and cheap ins & tags. Need to look at the whole picture. Being able to tow comfortably up the steep pulls is a plus also.
