I have been saying this for years. If you are towing every week, then without a doubt, get a diesel. If, like yourself, you will be towing once every two months get the gas. I bought a diesel MH, not for the engine, but for the air brakes, air ride and towing capacity.
Actually...I wonder what a new Ram 1500 could do at the drags. 390HP Hemi, 6-speed trans, 3.92 limited slip. Don't expect getting 12's from that (or an Ecoboost) would be too hard!
