Re: Diesel vs gas......................
You guys need to give it a break and grow up. What difference does it make if what you have pulls what you need. Get over it!!!!!!

Re: Diesel vs gas......................
In the old days it was people power then we used Morgan Draft Horses to tow with and they were replaced with gas and now with the evolution of the diesel motor we have advanced to diesel power. I believe they call it progress.

Re: Diesel vs gas......................
Diesels have nearly twice the amount of torque as a gasser. So if your serious about towing, especially if you tow a lot, a diesel is the way to go. They tend to get better mileage than a gasser both towing and running empty. The newer ones are quieter and tend to do better in the cold weather than the diesels of yesterday. Since diesels are built for heavy loads/towing they tend to have better braking, which makes it safer if a quick stop is necessary.

Re: Diesel vs gas......................
If your towing anything that weighs more than your tow vehicle, a diesel is the only way to go. Gas is somewhat easier and cheaper to work on, but if you need towing power (torque) the extra expense of a diesel is well worth it.
