Hybrid,
This is Trailer Life Mag. The majority are concerned with trailer towing capacity and MPG while trailering.
If you have a total vehicle length while towing exceeding 50 feet. You have no business passing anybody on a two lane road. No matter how much power you have.
If you are on a freeway your 0 to 60 times mean little.
In a 700 mile trip between fill ups. The Eco diesel will spend 20 seconds getting onto and up to freeway speed.
I need more capacity than any 1/2 ton comes with so I am trying to give a impartial opinion.
None of the get up and go / empty mpg talk means much on a trailering magazine web site. It maybe better suited for Soccer moms of America. ;>)
