Well, I am sure you will likely be happy with either. Any 2500 is a big step up in towing ability from a 150/1500. I’ve had my truck for 5 months and 5,000 miles of towing and don’t miss a diesel. Like you are considering, I went from a 1500 straight to a 2500 diesel. I didn’t really need a diesel but didn’t want to leave anything on the table in terms of capability. One additional thing to consider is you will likely get about 1/2 or a bit more of the added cost of the diesel back when you sell the truck. That offsets the cost to some degree of you do go for the diesel. For me, the gas truck makes more sense. Best of luck with your decision.
