How about a 2500 with a gas engine!? Personally, I have always had gasoline trucks because I have never 'needed' a diesel. If you are doing a lot of heavy hauling or towing, a diesel would be okay to get. The thing with diesels is that they can get expensive....ie oil changes, maintenance, low-sulfur fuel issues, etc. If you are just towing a couple of 6x6's on a trailer, I'd say go with the 1500. They'll have plenty of power, decent mileage and generally speaking, lower maintenance costs. This is just my $0.02. I may be wrong because I have never had a diesel, so if anybody on here is a diesel guy, what's your opinion?
