Most people that choose a gasser do so because we don't tow all the time.
I have a 2016 F250 gasser and pull a 11,000 lbs TT... and get around 6.5 mpg. However, I only tow approximately 10% of the time.
For me personally, my reason for not going diesel were:
Initial cost
Potential repair costs (HPFP issues not covered by warranty for example)
Short trips (I routinely drive less than 1 mile cold, then shutdown)
I'm not afraid to rev the gasser like it is designed
Not saying a gasser is as good as a diesel. I LOVE the torque of the new ones. However, there are still valid reasons for going gasser.
I can get in the upper teens for mpg on the highway.

Driving a gasser less than a mile and shutting down, is just as bad as doing to a diesel.
