I pulled a 7600lbs travel trailer for 10 years with a GM 2500HD with the 6.0L engine. It revved in the mountains to make the necessary power but it was rock solid reliable. We made the decision to jump to a 5th wheel that has a 16K GVWR. At that point it I knew the 'ol gasser wasn't going to be up to that task. I moved to my Cummins and couldn't be happier. Towing performance is outstanding and the exhaust brake is outstanding for long downhill runs in the mountains.
The take away is OldBiscuit is right. If the trailer is within the vehicles limit, gas or diesel will do the job just fine.
