But trying to decide on a 2012 F250 Lariat 6.2L nicely equipped (tow capacity 12K) for $37K or a 2015 F250 with a 6.7L TD bare bones SLT (Tow capacity 14K) for $42K. Both have about 20K miles on them.

My head is spinning trying to decide which is the better way to go.

I didn't know SLT was a Ford trim level, thought it was a Ram trim level.

You don't need the diesel to tow the current rig, but if you chose to step up to a 5er there is a catch 22 to the diesel.

More than enough power, but less payload, really bits in the 250/2500 models.

You could keep looking for a diesel with a bit better trim.

The Payload between the two you are looking at may not be that great, as the diesel is a lower trim level, and the gas is loaded.

That said, I am a diesel man myself, less than 300HP, at 280,000 miles and 3.55 gears still moves a 11,000# 5er very nicely, even up hills!!
