You might want to share this gem with Ford, Ram and GM as their Towing Guides definately provide for more towing performance and higher tow values with the diesel. I bet they would love to hear your reasons.
To the OP, congrats on the new to you truck. Hope you have many good miles with it. The 6.2 is almost bullet proof as to reliability.
A little reading might explain it better than I can.
The higher towing value has nothing to do with the amount of torque.
With your reasoning lower torque must be better because a F450 truck has a higher tow rating with less torque than a F350 with the same engine. :R
