If your getting a 3/4 ton diesel to get better mileage while towing, let's do some math. 3/4 ton cost more than 1/2 ton. Diesel engine cost more than gas engine. Diesel fuel cost more than gasoline. Insurance is more. All of these things I've listed will pay for a lot of "extra" gas that you will burn while towing with a 1/2 ton gas. With that being said, if you need a diesel, that's a different story. Or if you just want one, but but don't fool yourself into thinking that the better mileage while towing is going to save you money.
