Consider how you will use the truck the most. If you only tow relatively short distances in the summer for weekends, the gasser may be the better choice. Tow frequently? Diesel is hard to beat, IMO. The maintenance claim made by most is questionable. The only maintenance I do on my Cummins is oil changes. If you do not run a diesel hard enough, often enough you can get into the dirty O2 sensor hassle. But even that can often be fixed with giving it some exercise.
Replacing fuel filters on your diesel is not part of your maintenance plan? In addition adjusting valve lash on your engine is also a maintenance item, although very infrequent.
