Not a gas vs. diesel or even big block vs small block issue here. I'm just sayin I know how to tow with a gas engine, and with today's trucks you can be pro-active enough so the trans isn't shifting too much. But when it needs to, it needs to, and that's how I get my engine turning in the optimum power range for the situation at hand. I have no beef with the diesel guys at all. I would own one, and may some day, but right now I'm not stressing at all when I tow up 6% at 4000k RPM, so i don't really understand people that say, "that's because you've never towed with a diesel". While that is true it doesn't mean I arrive at the campsite needing blood pressure medicine! I kinda like hearing that V8 sing!
I think they're the ones needing blood pressure medication because we're happy towing with our gassers. I've been there. Kinda frustrating trying to justify the diesel to the Mrs when others are happy towing with gassers.:p
