Gas vs Diesel for Towing a Fifth Wheel!!!
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?

I did have a '00 Chevy 8.1L gasser that would have probably had little difficulty pulling our Monty when we were getting ready to buy it five years back. Problem was that it had 150k miles on it and only got 8 mpg pulling our 28' bumper pull. I found our '06 6.0L Ford that had only 28k miles on it for a good price. I've consistently gotten over 11 mpg pulling our Monty at 60 - 70 mph with it. It's also a dually and is vastly more stable than the single wheel Chevy. The Ford's got about 80k miles on it now.
