My buddies have diesel. I wouldnt buy one specifically for duckin or pullin a boat.
Once I factored in the amount of times I pull something, fuel cost for each, and truck cost for each. I with with a Gas burner. I love the diesel looks and power but it's not necessary. What it boiled down to most was the fact that most of my buddies have them to hot rod them more then they got for hunting/towing stuff.
I have had good luck with my Dodge's in the past and they all pulled a trailer well.
I have a 2008 ram quad cab now and love it.

Im prob leanin towards gas for basically the reasons you mentioned. But for how little I drive and and I sold my little fun car, I wouldn't mind having a diesel to piss around in.

Buy a f-150 raptor svt then you get the hot rod, the power, and a $60,000 car payment

I hate ford. Currently daily drive a 250 diesel 06 model. Never been a fan of fords. We run fords and chevy in our work truck fleet, and I would go with a chevy over a ford.
Got my eyes on a used 1500hd crew cab with 22k on it. That seems to be about what will suite my needs. but the thought of a duramax keeps lingering in my head.

I picked up a 2013 Ford F-150 King Ranch with Eco-Boost. Lots of power great on gas. I pull a 21' enclosed hunting trailer and this truck is very impressive in pulling power. I'm going to Canada on a 4000 mile round trip. I will let you know how this truck did.

If you go diesel stay far away from 6.0L ford. They are junk. But if you put a few mods on a deisel you will get 20 plus mpg out of it.
