Long story short: 10,000 pounds is the breaking point between 2500-250 and 3500-350. Dualy's for better stability. Diesel for stronger towing. When you get 15,000, be thinking dualy.
If towing is your primary concern, then get diesel. If daily driver is your primary concern, then get gas.
As for me and my house (on wheel)... it's a 3500 dualy diesel. I can tow anything anywhere and never have to worry about it or second guess if everything is going to be OK.
Having a STRONG towing vehicle under any conditions is more important than the daily driver or the cost effectiveness any time. Otherwise, I'd get rid of the trailer. If you have a trailer, towing safe, comfortable, and with confidence under any condition should supersede everything else. You have too much money on the line towing a travel trailer for things to go "kaput!"
