I wonder what the acceleration of the base model V6's are with the same 7000 pound trailer? The Chevy 5.3L with 115 more hp than the Ecodiesel is very close 0-40mph towing and only 0.2s slower over a quarter mile. I suspect your lesser torque 300hp V6 won't fare too well.

I suppose if you cherry pick numbers, there may be a point there. If you look at the whole picture, cost included, there was one clear winner.
I have no need to defend what I drive, it is what it is. But it is not a 6000# boat anchor either.
