If you get a Diesel engine you will be in cruise control at 80 mph in overdrive with the A/C on up the steepest grade and only when it gets really crazy will you have to downshift.
I agree with above posters that gasoline will get it done as well, but guaranteed if you are used to being loaded heavy with a 351 Windsor, you're going to be absolutely shocked how a modern Diesel attacks the mountains compared to that.
I hear you on diesel power. It's intoxicating. I had an 06 F250 w/ the 6.0 and that truck was awesome. I was lucky in the fact that I only had one problem with that engine the entire time I owned it. Diesel trucks would be on the table as an option if I could get one for a smoking deal. Otherwise it's going to be gas for me since I'd only use the truck for approximately 4 months out of the year and I'm already used to being the slow guy in the right hand lane. LOL.
