In my area, is what I am seeing, is people getting the diesel pick-ups, that don't even have the lawn mowing business. Just getting a diesel over the gas, because that's what they think they ought to have.
I'm venturing a guess here, that people in your area would of gotten a diesel anyways. The lawn mowing business, is just something they happen to do with it. That part, didn't matter. They were going to get a diesel anyways. Now they can feel like a MIGHTY TRUCKER when they pull up to the diesel pumps. Lawn mower trailer hooked on the back, OR NOT.
Diesel engines in pick-ups have come along ways in the last 20 years. They sure are delivering a lot more responsive torque to the ground. A lot more responsive than they did before, in my opinion.
But bottom line, I think it is still smart to only get one, if you can justify having one. That's the surprising thing to me. People seem to be getting them, with no justification.
This is coming from a guy (myself), who recently bought a used pick-up. I do SOME trailer pulling (20 ft. cattle trailer). And I got a GAS, not a diesel. I don't need to look cool every time I pull up to the diesel pumps, no more trailer pulling than I do. And this gas one that I got, will handle that 20 ft. cattle trailer just fine. I have insurance for those stupid people that pull out in front of me. Not gonna be needing any extra engine braking for that.

I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery.
