Given the price of used diesels, (last time I checked my low mileage 2007 Cummins retailed for more than I paid for it new) and the fact that there will be no heavy loads, I would be leaning towards gas as well.

Why even go 3/4 ton? If it isn't needed, much nicer trucks can be had for the money you want to spend. And unless you need the oil burner, it is just extra cost. The Duramax trucks I see around here from 2012 are just shy of $30k.....and are already showing signs of rust.

Thanks. Now, can you folks explain this to my 18yr old daughter! LOL! I have a 2011 Duramax and love it. I imagine a 2500 series with the Duramax/Allison must motor along pretty good.
