The 6.4L, crew cab, 4x4 will have around 3500+ pounds of payload! That's WAY more than you need now and likely more than you'll need for any bumper pull. Now if you're planning on a 5er anytime soon, that's different.
Also, diesel fuel is more up front, more maintenance costs overall, and costs more per gallon than gas (however, I think the 6.4 might want premium fuel to run the best). Truck Trend has an article stating the break even costs for diesel vs gas is aroun 100,000 miles. Good luck on YOUR decision.
