Diesel prices are comparable to gas right now, so this is just flat out wrong.

Untrue. Most places I've seen lately are only 10 cents higher, in some places, diesel is less than gas right now.

I would expect about 3k more for the diesel option. That's what I paid extra to get the diesel in my car if I remember correctly. Diesel is rarely ever $1 more per gallon. Usually around 60 cents. Lately I get it for the same price which is awesome.
The towing capacity is not going to be limited by the engine most likely on those trucks. The wheelbase and overall smaller frame are never going to let it tow that much. This is purely an economical upgrade for someone looking to keep a 250k mile vehicle.
My car advertises 30 in the city and 42 on the highway. I just travelled from North Houston to NOLA and averaged (including Houston traffic) 47 mpg (as per my car's computer). I'm averaging over 40 mpg for the life of the car right now with 56k miles on it. You can get more out of those eco-diesels than what is advertised.
