Are you planning on buying a 5th wheel? If not I would not buy diesel. Very high cost over gas around $7000 more, more expensive fuel and upkeep. We bought a new 2012 Chevy 2500hd, 6.0 gas, 3.73 gears extended cab with a long bed in 2012. It is a work truck model but is a great truck. It is rated to pull 9700 lb trailer. If you get the 4.10 gears you can pull up to 14,700 lb 5th wheel. With rebates we got it for 28,000. I know diesels are great but unless you need that extra power I think gas engines will do fine. But everyone has their preferences. Good luck whatever you decide.
