I went to a 2500 in 02,I'm on my third one now,it's like night and day difference pulling a trailer,I opted for the diesel which made it all the better concerning fuel mileage was actually better pulling a trailer and empty than my previous gas engines,plus the power was no comparison,I don't know what you mean by maintenance costs being more,other than fuel filters every so often and higher oil capacity during a change the fuel price is a wash because of the better mileage.And the oil changes are at longer intervals than the gas engines.Just the suspension upgrade is very noticeable when towing plus the larger brakes on the truck which on my last truck where still good at 100,000 miles when I traded it.Just weigh all the options,the diesel is more to purchase,but trade in is a lot more also.Gas or diesel a 250 or 2500 is the way to go in my opinion,if you know someone with a 3/4 ton see if they will let you try theirs for a short haul and buy them breakfast.It may be money well spent.
