Make no mistake... there is a place for gassers and they're a smart choice in many cases. But having towed heavy with both, I would choose a diesel over a gasser regardless of how frequent it's being used. When you need it you need it. Save a few bucks at the pump, or slow down deliveries and miss potential deadlines and potentially a sale. It's all in what someone can stomach and the tradeoff they're willing to make for the reward. It's an individual decision.
Gassers make sense for service trucks or things of that nature but if you're towing more than 15k lbs frequently and over terrain, they just struggle. It's akin to why you won't find a gasser in many of the 40'+ Class A motorhomes. They're mainly in smaller and lighter class As and the Class Cs. Even the Super C runs diesel. They're just made to haul.
