It's clear you don't read my entire posts. Sorry for making them long, with numbers. As I posted earlier (with math) if I put on 1000 "towing miles" per month, it would add $50-100 to my monthly fuel bill compared to a diesel. And, yes, I can afford that.
For me it's not about affording the initial outlay, but justifying it. A truck, to me, is a tool. If a $10K gas truck will do the job well, why use a $25K diesel truck?
