I have some issues picking a suitable towing vehicle to haul a travel trailer. Gas vs diesel for towing a fifth wheel? Which one is better? Any suggestion?

Without reading ahead...

It all depends on how often you plan on camping and where you plan on going. If you are only going to be a weekend warrior, with an occasional longer trip, a gasser might be better for you. Especially so if your truck will be a daily, or near-daily, driver. Now, if you're planning on long trips, especially going into hilly or mountainous country, the diesel will serve you better, IMO. When we first started looking at diesel trucks for our farm years ago, my dad's favorite saying was "all that money you spend just to have a diesel engine can buy a =lot= of gas."
