You don't need to "pay off" the diesel upgrade. It pays back (sometimes with interest) when you sell the truck.
Besides, who in the world buys a diesel because it's cheaper? You buy it because it does the job better and more comfortably.
Ditto on all of the above.
It's a lot less effortless towing with a diesel than a gas truck. I am not constantly managing my throttle application in anticipation of hills, etc.
