350/3500 trucks, engine weight gas vs diesel
On a 4x4 350/3500 SRW does the extra weight of a diesel change the "off-roading" ability of a Double Cab w 8' bed and pop-up camper mounted? Thanks

Thanks for the comments so far. I do have another truck - Tundra reg cab, swb that is about as good an offroad truck as I need.
I'm trying to decide if the extra weight of the motor is going to be too big of a penalty since the rig is already going to be compromised by length. The truck will be exclusively used to haul the camper(sometimes towing a boat), and get to some out of the way spots in a crowded world. Steep, rocky roads and wet, greasy low spots out on the desert(spring) are the typical obstacles. Perhaps some beach camping is hopefully in the future. Trips would be usually less than 200 miles one way; 1 or 2 nights and then home.
