Another consideration is how much of a discount you can get on a given model(gas vs diesel). I'd pretty much decided on buying a Duramax 3/4 or 1 ton, late last spring, and was all set to head south of the border to get a better deal on one....had a good offer on one from an Ohio dealer. In the meantime, GM Canada started a truck promo and I was able to get $14,500 knocked off the truck I ended up with. Either gas or diesel in the HD's will work fine for you with a properly set up truck, albeit the diesel will do it with less effort for sure. Price is always a consideration, so see where the best deal is...the discount I was able to get was far more than the gasser although I still payed a premium for the diesel.
