Who Daily Drivers their diesel TV?

OP, for your TT a diesel is overkill but nothing wrong with that :)
The step up to a 3/4 ton from your Tundra will be a real eye opener with either gas or diesel. An HD truck is just in a whole other league.
For the load you are hauling a 3/4 gas with the modern engine is a great fit. Ford, GMC/Chevy, and Ram all make great trucks. The MPG are much better than a generation ago. I see mileage close to what I got with my Duramax from my 6.4 Hemi. The winter fuel blend does kill it a bit. Honestly, I don't micro-manage my fuel but considering the extra cost of diesel at the pump I'm at least in the ballpark for total cost. The whole diesel vs. gas with purchase cost, longevity and maint. has obviously been beaten to death so I won't even offer any opinion.
My main point is to at least realize the HUGE leap from your 1/2 ton up to a 3/4 ton, whether it be gas or diesel.
