Does anyone else want to weigh in on the "gas" versus "diesel" discussion? This is not the first time this has been said to me - been hearing it since I bought the truck. "You'd be better off with a gasser." What do you think? Gasser over a "new" diesel?
Well...rzar is right...you don't "need" a diesel to haul 3000#-5000#...and a gas motor will leave you with more payload if that is an issue.

For a lighter TC with no towing...a gasser is fine...
So the answer is gas vs diesel? It depends...
