I would not agree with this at all. On this forum you have People who actually use their trucks. Not chip them out and drag race them...
Here you have real world experience with People who are hauling and travelling similar to what the OP is doing.
I don't see where the OP asked anything about the economics of purchasing a diesel truck (a pointless discussion...).
His questions are performance/logistics related.
His gasser does not cut it for his load.
I would only add that this forum doesn't seem to have agendas other brand forums have to promote way of thinking.
Also I would highlight that here we will not likely see bold statements from V10 garage queens owners, so common on other forums.
Beside the power/torque advantage I buy diesel for economy.
With present fuel prices in CA, driving my 5 tons dually on diesel cost about the same what driving wife wagon on Premium.
If you drive a lot, compare how much more money you will have to spend every year on driving gasoline truck.
