Because diesel owners save every day their diesel is in use, and they get all the money back on sale/trade day.
From the puny pick 'em up truck in your sig., what do you pull, a pop-up?! LOL!

We just got back from Bristol, we camped in a campground w/ approx 1500 campers/RV's. Guess what the majority of tow vehicles were.....You guessed it DIESEL. I wonder why so many experienced campers choose diesel over gas. We must just love to throw our money away huh. The next time you go to a big event/ campground just look around.

I don't get quite the mileage while towing as the diesels do but then I didn't spend the extra five large to buy one.

BertP, Finally someone who gets it! The only practical advantage to diesel is the mpg. and the main reason for that is the compression ratio available with the fuel. Compression=Efficiency.

13.25 mpg high towing
10.29 mpg low towing
An average of 11.46 MPG after towing 2309.6 Miles
Very few gassers if any are going to touch that kind of mileage towing. That and 37% of my total miles have been towing. With that kind of towing miles it just made sense to buy a diesel.
PS. Total towing miles actually equals 2989.5 of 8044.2 total miles. I only used miles where the entire tank was towing, otherwise my average would be much higher, but not a true picture of towing mileage.
