Power/Fuel

I am about to trade up from my 1/2 ton GMC- looking at Ford F250’s and Chevy/GMC 2500’s. (I live in CO and pull a horse trailer, so I want a bit more whoa and go in the mountains.) I have been trying to buy used, under 50,000 miles, and am having a hard time finding what I want with a gas engine. I originally ruled out Diesel because mean my truck lives outside and I keep hearing how hard diesels are when it’s cold. Also, Diesel Fuel is pricier that gas these days, but I am having a REALLY hard time finding a 3/4 ton that uses gas and has the other particulars I am looking for. See tons in Diesel though. Any one have any insight on the diesel to gas conundrum??? Also- I have had great luck with GMC trucks, but see few of those on the market. Any advice on Ford VS GMC.

Thanks,

Thomi Q
