That's a good looking truck.
My thoughts on leaning towards a gasser are based on:
1. The MPG figures from Fuelly comparing trucks in my price range with either their respective diesel engine, or the largest gas engine available
2. $3.15/gal for both regular unleaded and diesel, which is my current pricing
3. $7k price tag difference between the diesel engine and the big gas engine(v10 Ford or Dodge or big V8 for Chevy)
4. 5k miles/yr driven, which is what I do in the Yota now. Being able to make fewer trips, this will probably actually be less.
The Dodge gas vs diesel was the closest with 8.5 years to pay for the cost difference, Ford was the longest at over 20 years to pay for the cost difference - might as well be never - and Chevy was right in between those two.
