You choose - loaded gas or basic diesel?
If you had to buy a SD/HD truck today, what would you choose... a loaded, leather gas model or a diesel with cloth and just a few basic gadgets? Assume similar price, which is what I am finding.

If this is a towing vehicle and you have any plans to upgrade your towed outfit in the future, then I would think it would be a no-brainer, go with the diesel for more towing power, better mpg, etc. Especially if the prices are similar. You really don't "need" a lot of that fancy stuff, we bought a GPS for about $150 that takes us to the front door of every destination. Now, we do like the Sirius radio but can live without it and the OnStar is nice to have, but haven't really used it enough to justify the price. I would bet the diesel has an automatic transmission with some type of engine braking system, cruise control, etc. I got a bunch of that stuff, but that's because that's what the truck came with. But didn't get a GPS system or the back-up camera system, etc. Again, if you are planning on this being your towing mating with every-day driving, go for the diesel if it's close to the same price.
