Jim I tried to stick with Gas for a year after I purchased the Mountaineer. I finally gave in a couple of months ago and upgraded to a diesel. Trust me it is worth the extra cost to get a diesel. I used to pull with a 1-ton Chevrolet, automatic and gas powered pickup. I never had enough power and semi trucks would pass me on an incline. Now I have a 1-ton Dodge, Diesel and standard with more power than I need. I can now pass the trucks going up an incline. The difference while pulling is as big as night and day.
The main thing is to drive as many as possible. If the dealer has a problem with you taking a vehicle off the lot and pulling something with it then they don't want to sell their product. Take a loaded flatbed trailer with you to the test drive and hook it up to the vehicle. I did this with three different dealers and none of them had a problem with the test.
Good luck with which ever brand & fuel you choose.
