My $.02. Get a 1 ton and if hills are a concern, biggest gas motor. I agree w/ Cummins12V about going the diesel route, but as you mentioned, not a lot of miles towing really would be wasting your $$$. That being said tho, you also stated you wanted to keep it another 10-15 years. That would be a total of 15-20 years on truck/engine.What you'd save w/ 1st few years of maintenance w/ a gasser, set aside for future maintenance.

A diesel will last forever, but I just don't see how it would benefit you given the few towing miles. The grin factor w/ a diesel.......well that never goes away when towing on hills. Again, my $.02.
