Deciding Diesel V. Gasser

Hey y’all, I’m trying to decide what to purchase as my next truck. My 2025 Silverado 5.3 has been in the shop basically since I bought it and I’m working on a buy back from GM. If they buy it back I’m considering buying an older model diesel instead. Thinking of getting something 2010+ that I could either buy cash ($10-16K) or use that as a down payment to something I could finance, owe very little on and have low payments. I work in construction and I’m looking at getting a travel trailer for my family and regularly drive on average 120+ miles per day. I’m looking for some insight on whether a diesel would be a good use case for me or if I should just find a gasser that fits the bill. Thank you ahead of time.
