Gas or diesel
I posted this on another site as well. I have decided that the F150 I have is just not going to cut it with the trailer I have. Have an opportunity to get a pretty good deal on some 2015 350 Super Du...

Whenever I see this question come up, the answer to me is obvious (if towing heavy diesel is the way to go)...although both engine types will do a respectable job.
The real question that buyers need to consider...is the $8-$10k additional cost worth it to them personally.
Define heavy. ;)
Seems to me if you like your power in the sub-3k rpm range and are willing to pay for it a turbo-diesel is the only choice in 3/4 and up trucks. If you're not on the road all the time (like the OTR truckers) and want to save some money get a gas engine.
I believe the big equalizer will be when 5+ liter direct injection turbocharged gas engines become available (and proven) in the "Heavy Duty" pick'em ups. Then you can have the best of both worlds.
