[QUOTE="AustinSN, post: 16506991, member: 159453"] If your end game is a 24-26' enclosed car hauler and a big horse trailer with living quarters, the diesel might be the way to go. If you bought a gas truck and then had to upgrade later, you might lose out a bit more on depreciation, taxes, etc. My old 6.2 f250 pulled my trailer just fine (24' enclosed), but my 2015 lml pulls it better. Fuel economy is better, acceleration is better, it's quieter as it does it, etc. Coming back from Topeka to Denver last week I had my trailer with my car in it, and at 70 mph I had a 20-27 mph direct head wind. The truck sat at 17-18 psi of boost for 3 hours at a time just maintaining 70 (until I had to put fuel in it). A turbo'd gas engine might concern me in a situation like that, unless you had a tow tune that would knock it down to maybe 40hp over stock. [/QUOTE]
