First let me thank everyone who shared their opinions. It made for great reading and very interesting with all the different points of view.
When I wrote this post I was in Canada. Tonight I am in Florida and their is a big difference in the price of gas and diesel between Canada and the U.S., which favours my American friends. But after driving down here and paying the road tolls you start to wonder what the real difference is.
Regardless of the brand, which I am very glad we didn't get into in this post, it looks like most people agree a diesel is the way to go for truck campers. But I must say, some people gave great answers why they prefer gas engines.
I cannot find any dealerships offering Lifetime Warranty here in Canada so I guess that means I will continue to trade in my truck before the manufacturers warranty runs out. I worked and retired from GM for over 33 years so I will likely continue to buy their trucks in the future.
I hope to order a new truck shortly and its going to be another diesel thanks to all the great opinions I got on here. I am kicking around the idea of going to a one ton dually long box, instead of the same as the one ton SRW short box I have now but that a another question, and yes its one I have asked in the past, but still think about a lot.
