You may have seen my other thread: "Teach me about 1 ton diesel" Now I'm questioning whether I should even buy a diesel as opposed to a gas. I was talking to a friend today who suggested the gas gets better mileage when not loaded, but of course gets thursty when pulling a load. The initial cost of the diesel is $4-6K more (1998-2002 models), which buys a lot of gas. The repairs on a diesel are also thousands more $$ and not as readily accessible while on the road. The gas has plenty of power to pull as well.
Given I will only put 5K-10K kilometers a year on it, I'd be interested to hear what other may have to say on the pros and cons of each. I'm glad I'm not in a rush
