Newbie here, advice on tow rig?
To preface, sorry for the long first post. I've read about 50 pages of the diesel vs gas thread and it's exhausting, so I thought I'd start my own in hopes of getting some realistic non-biased advice....

Thanks for the insight. I have considered new. The new RAM 2500 with the 6.4L and 6 speed seems like a really nice truck, but I've yet to have the opportunity to drive one.
I have one - really nice truck, but buying a new truck for it to sit doesn't seem like a good investment to me.
Your situation sounds like you are a prime candidate for a big gas engine. Even an older Ram 2500 with the 5.7L Hemi would be a good choice IMO. The 5.7L Hemi put out 383hp/400tq in the 2500 trucks whereas the 8.1L big block was 330hp/455tq in the later versions (like in 2006). The Ford V10 would also be a viable option at 362hp.
