No reason to tow 6000lbs with a diesel. Certainly a gasser would do fine. I still would want a 3/4 ton if it were me.
There is one compelling reason. High altitude!
I live at 10K ft and that is the reason I tow with a TURBO diesel, even though my trailer is only around 5K loaded.
Given where I live, I won't drive anything without a turbo.... well expect for my dirt bike...
I pulled all of your country easy with my 1/2 ton supercharged Chev 5.3 pulling more like 9 thousand lbs. I did pass a lot of Turbo go up hill, but didn't keep track of what brand they were.
