Hi all, this is my first post so be gentle. Ty. Diesel or gas question depends on what kind of tow trailer you have in mind of pulling, if I'm just pulling a small camper 24' or smaller, sure I'm thinking of a gasser for the truck, but anything else would definately have to be diesel. Most people here that have had both types of motors, can and will testify how not having the annoying down shift of a gasser in rolling hills will answer the problem. Yes, it only takes one trip towing and you must honestly agree if you are towing -diesel is and always will be the answer(no brand in perticular--I like Dodge for the Cummings and tight turning radius) to this long problem. Since I tow a 33' fifth-wheel, I can at least say, without being too bias, most towing is best done with the new turbo diesels.
I have to agree with the capatain here. I've towed with gas and now diesel. I won't go back to gas because I'm getting good fuel economy and the power to pull the hills here in the rockies towing the 33' Tetonhome. I would own a gas truck for the light towing or hauling.
