Decisions....Gas or Diesel

The op didn't mention how far he was going to tow. I will expand on my above recommendation. With that weight if you are just towing to the lake in the spring and home again in the fall I would get the gaser. If you are going to hook up and take 3 weeks and travel to the west coast and back, get the diesel. Do you have a car trailer? do you haul to shows or swap meets? Many unanswered questions.
