A gas engine will be fine, a diesel will do a better job, but there are pros and cons to each. If towing performance is the only measure, diesel wins hands down.
If cost, practicality, trip length and other things start being considerations, the winner isn't so clear.
I had a 6.4L Hemi and a 12,000 lb 5er, and it was a great combination, even for long trips through the mountains.
