You will get many reply's warning you to stay away from diesel at all cost, too expensive to repair, to costly to operate.
Here is where the come from.
#1. Those loyal Ford owners that bought the 2003 to 2006 6.0 diesel, and had the engine go south. Ford had a real issue with that engine (Navastar.
#2. Those that bought the new improved Ford 6.4, while much better than the 6.0, still had more issues than it should have had.
#3. Those that have driven gas all there life and #1 and #2 have them scared to death of Diesel and the high cost of operation.
What you want to listen to are those that didn't get one of the bad Ford 6.0. One of those that bought a Durmax or Ram. One of those that made the switch, and discovered the pulling power of diesel.
Yes, there are those that went to diesel, and have gone back to gas for one or more reasons, they think the overall cost are too much, because in the winter when gas price drops diesel doesn't.
Well summer is here and gas is rising, and diesel isn't.
The trailer you are looking at can easily be towed with either. Find the best deal you can and go for it.
Then read this thread, this has both the good and the bad. I was really pleased with the responses.

Since the change to ULSD, diesel is ~.60/gallon more than gas and will continue that trend.
