Hi All,
I have got to add my 2 cents worth to this gas vs diesel discussion. Having just got my first diesel (a 2015 F350) and having towed our trailer with a Suburban for 5 years I have to say that I am totally awe struck by this diesel!
All I can say is it's dangerous!... you forget that you are towing anything! We just returned from our first trip. We went almost 13000ft straight up in the rockies and the only time it dropped out of 6th gear into 5th was because a BMW slowed us down!
I'm SOLD.. I will NEVER go back to a gas engine for towing! :-)
Don't know what you are towing, but I tow 11,000+ (19,500# CVW) with a 15 year old Ram/Cummins that has about 100 less HP than the new trucks and 285,000 miles, and we tow hills great, can't imagine the difference you feel.
