I understand that in lot of areas, finding qualified diesel technician is very hard, when dealers are popular call stealers.
Ambulances, tow trucks don't put many miles, so fuel economy is not critical, but on other hand one of the members said he bought diesel 4WD for his tow truck simply because of front weight as on gasoline model he had to add 500 lb weights under front bumper.
I drive a wrecker and I can tell you we put a lot of miles on our units. Our local ambulance all so puts lots of miles on there units, its nothing to see then hundreds of miles away doing transfers to other places.
Our Tow trucks get around 10 to 11 MPG. Our units are diesel, another company has gas units and gets about the same on his V10 units.
