I tow with my gas V-10. for the life of me I can`t figure out what the draw is with Diesel. I never have an issue towing my 9200lb TT. I`ve passed several diesel in the last 11 years. I guess you just feel like a better person with a diesel? :h
Well, your vehicle and trailer are very nicely matched in power/weight. Gas vehicles are very capable IMO up to around 12k, anything above that you are going to need a Diesel for the loads that most of the large fivers are moving up 20k. Also if you ever decide to tow in altitude 7k-12k you are going to suffer significant HP loss and will not be passing any Diesels.
