[QUOTE="Travis1, post: 1417172, member: 16253"] Not everyone is towing 15,000lbs, in fact, it's pretty safe to say, most of us that own trucks aren't. 10,000lbs or less is new half ton country and most of our loaded trailers weigh a good bit less than that. A diesel might beat a gasser towing that by 3-5mpg on a good day. Factor in fuel and additional cost of ownership of the diesel and the diesel will lose in the light towing department. Heck, towing on level ground with my old 5.9L magnum and an 8,000lb trailer I regularly got 11mpg and crept up to 13-14 @ 70mph because I could safely drop in to OD. I can only imagine the newer gas engines will do better than that. [/QUOTE]
