I used to pull over 8,000 lbs with an F250. The weight was divided between the largest slide in camper I could find and a 21' boat. It had the 460 engine with 230hp and a four speed transmission. While I might have enjoyed having more power the were very few times that I could not go as fast as I wanted to and I never regretted not buying a diesel. I think that any new engine/transmission combo would offer more more performance than that rig had.
Buy what you want and can afford but don't try to justify it. Just beware of making a lot of short trips with a diesel.
