Don't buy the gasser simply because it's cheaper and you can save some money if it's not really the truck you want. Don't settle for a gasser just simply to pad your already full savings account if the diesel is the truck you truly want. "It's OK to live a little"

The gasser will always be cheaper and for the most part get the job done, but that does not mean taking the gasser savings is always the best decision.
Of course this assumes you can afford to buy a truck.
