I have a 2011 F250 with a 6.2 and less than 50k miles on it. It's a very capable truck for the 10,000 GVWR 5th wheel that I have but if I had a trailer that was heavier I'd probably go with a diesel even if my truck would pull it. I don't like to hear an engine scream even if I know it's not hurting it.

I was very impressed with the speed. 2.6mpg? I'd hope it has power to use that much fuel. In 300k miles it's not hard to justify the diesel. Or on the downhill. Or with more weight.

Of course it always turns into the diesel argument. Yes, high fuel mileage going up the gauntlet. What are your diesels getting going up it? I suspect the delta between the two is not much different than non gauntlet towing.
