Opinions needed on Tow truck - Diesel or Gas?

The only downside to the FL60 route is your GVCW. According to the Federal DOT laws, anything 26,001 pounds and over requires a CDL. And, those FL60s are quite a bit heavier than your average 1-ton dually, as I found out with my TopKick. It would be easy to have a 2-car trailer in the 16,000 pound range loaded (more than likely it will be more), which means you're truck had better be 10,000 or less.

I unfortunately had to find all of this out the hard way, which sucks, because the Medium Duty trucks are far safer to tow with than the 1-ton offerings when you start getting into some decent weights.
