"It's less hassle, and will be about $9000 cheaper, to get a V-10 gasser before we retire. Against that we have to weigh the inconvenience of not being able to RV to Mesa Verde and Yellowstone before we retire. I won't try to tow an RV with a gasser above 4000 - 5000 feet save maybe coming and going every other year through Donner Pass on the way to Utah."
We agree with your logic.We have towed way above 4/5K feet with the V-10 pulling @14K. It screamed and we were slow but we did OK.
Neither our V-10 or the 6.4 L diesel were daily drivers 95% of the time they had the 5th wheel behind them. The The V-10 had 30K Miles and the 6.4L now has 34K miles. We had zero problems with both.
There is no reason to spend $$ on a Diesel if your mode of travel does not require one.
