Gas or diesel
I posted this on another site as well. I have decided that the F150 I have is just not going to cut it with the trailer I have. Have an opportunity to get a pretty good deal on some 2015 350 Super Du...

Diesel or gasoline doesn't matter when it comes to the hp/torque curves; it's wide open throttle for both.
This is where I get lost with the "Nearly identical mph up hills nearly identical acceleration with a trailer" thought. I tow mostly from Portland to the Oregon coast two lane twisty roads with some passing lanes. our about 270 hp Cummins can slow to 50 for a 45 mph curve, then in direct drive with 3.55's accelerate to 60 while going up a 5% to 6% grade, without going to WOT!
Keep in mind my torque is developed low, (410# at 1,400 rpm) not HP, I need to get to about 2,700 rpm for max HP.
