Not saying you aren't right but...
Everyone that spoke to the value of the new gassers qualified their opinion with, "unless you're doing a lot of heavy towing", in which case we all agreed he should go diesel.
I didn't see one person say that a gas engine has a "better engine life" than diesel, as you claim they did.
The FACTS are: Higher purchase price, higher fuel cost, higher maintenance, and higher repair costs. So a person could indeed "go wrong" with a diesel, if they didn't really need one.
Do you NEED a diesel to pull the family 5th wheel trailer on vacations? Nope. Do you NEED a diesel to pull the tractor to the show a few times a year? Nope. Do you NEED a diesel to pull 15,000 pounds for your job everyday? Absolutely.
So read down through the other posts, and tell us all "Who's full of it", as you said.
