No doubt the diesel will pull my trailer better, my Chevy 4X4 gets 8mpg hauling mine, but I tow it around 6 times a year and typically it's less than a 300 mile round trip. We go to som RV parks in Galveston, Jellystone in Waller, deer lease in Moscow, and relatives in Buffalo (TX) for hurricane evacuations.

I can't justify a diesel. My commute to an evil oil refinery is 55 miles round trip, that extra .30 cents a gallon adds up. If money grew on trees, that be my preference. I used to have a 2500HD 4X4 that could tow 16,000 LBS. when everyone was waiting in long gas lines during Rita I was able to pull right up and get diesel. It was a nice ride.

However, you have me thinking while I'm typing. When we had the big drought a couple of years ago (and maybe another one coming) diesels were the ony vehicles allowed on the deer lease, no catalytic converter.
