Well this is great, I am looking at purchasing a 250 or 2500 series truck in the near future, and I am unsure of which truck or gas vs. diesel to go with, and now more confused than ever from all the posts I have read. From the posts I have read, which have been many, most tend to lean toward the diesel as far as an economical standpoint.
This will primarily be my work vehicle, which will not involve towing, just running around town, stop and go, stop and go, with maybe one camping trip planned every month to month and a half. Is it still smart to go route of a diesel, trailer only weighing 5000 lbs., or go gas?
Then I have the BIG question of "Do I even need an 250 or 2500 series truck for a camper of my size, should I drop back down to a 150 series? (TT is an 06 Outback 25RS-S with a weight as I said of around 4800 to 5000 lbs)
