No matter what some say, at 40 to 50 cents per gallon more for fuel, even with the better mpg you'll need to go quite a few miles, tens of thousands yearly, before reaching the break even point. That's without even factoring in the upfront increased hard cost which there will be. May work for some, not for most, because 95% or more of the average Joe's out there never tow anything. Niche market.
This sums it up quite nicely !
You probably need to drive at least 50k/year and hauling/towing a load most of the time for diesel to pay off in ANY PICKUP TRUCK !
