I'm looking at upgrading my tow vehicle and I originally thought that I would be looking for a diesel but now I'm not so sure. I currently tow my 2005 SAN 210 with a Jeep Cherokee that has a little 4.7L V8. I towed it to Denver from Oklahoma with this setup and beat the piss out the Cherokee in the process. I'd like to be able to tow to Minnesota and Wyoming once a year in addition to towing to my local lake. I don't commute and I have numerous other vehicles to drive. I'm looking at spending around 15K for used. This would also be my wife's winter vehicle when there is snow. I'm starting to hear things about plugging it in on cold nights, expensive oil changes, and other various disadvantages to diesel. Should I just get a pickup with a bigger V8 or is there an advantage to diesel that I don't see? I'm really starting to think that the diesel is a bad idea.
