When you add in the enhanced performance of the high torque engines in the these HD trucks, we can readily talk ourselves into the purchase of diesels.
What would we figure?
Really it comes down to personal preference.
Checkout the TFL video with the Ram gasser. With only a 12K trailer, can only pull in 2nd gear, then never leaves 1st to under 30mph. Then go watch the Cummins with a 24K trailer on the same run, end of gas vs. diesel threads :W

I guess when they start making 12K pound TC's then I will start thinking Diesel.
or if you tow a horse trailer or a jeep on a trailer or a box with ATVs behind it
