For me, this is not about a race to the top of the mountain. It's about the ease of the pull. The longevity of the engine being put under the stresses of towing heavy and being able to pass a fuel station. Yes I would agree that the diesels of yesteryear were slow and less powerful and it took me years to warm up to them but now, well let's just say IMO you have to types of motors. One is a truck motor (diesel) and the other is a car motor that they put in a truck body (gas). Get what you want and drive it. I have had them all, I drive them all every day. For what I do with mine, a gas motor will never hold up for any time.
