Thanks coming back and sharing your experience.
I think a lot of these fine people that say the gas engines will be a good fit either aren't towing a larger trailer(toy haulers not only weigh more per foot, but are taller and wider) or have a current 6+ speed transmission.
I'm pulling nearly the same weight and type trailer as the OP. I was itching to say something because of all the people saying a gas engine couldn't do it up a grade at the speed limit.

They've both been 6 speed.
I'm sure OP will enjoy the diesel. But fast forward a decade in model years and any HD pickup would do just fine pulling that toy hauler.
