With the diesel truck, you'll have to run a lot of kilometers to have the higher diesel engine price ($3-4 thousand?) offset the cost of using slightly cheaper diesel fuel... The fuel economy is greater with a diesel, but it's a numbers game. I've heard that travelling around 35-40K km per year is needed to have it save you money. I guess it partially depends on how often you plan on travelling to BC.
And unless you're towing or hauling a lot, a 2500 (3/4 ton) will be overkill and have a harsher ride.
