Take that same load up a 7% grade, or into a 30MPH headwind and then ask yourself whether the gas or diesel is better suited power wise... Towing ability is not all about acceleration. I take it you've never driven a current 3/4 ton diesel otherwise you would have not have made such an outlandish statement.

both of those times were on a 7.2% grade at gm's proving grounds

I'm not talking about 0-40 drag times... Simply pulling the hill and being able to hold speed wihout having to dowshift 2-3 times and turning 4500 RPM to do so.
