Aquaduct,
i am not saying anyone is a idiot. all that matters is that your rig is safe and that you get out and use it. my post on 7/02/04 in diesel vs. gas lists my reasons for going diesel. you are right in saying it is more than hp and torque. you have to match the truck to the trailer. gearing, brakes, towing and weight capacity, etc. i towed alot with gas motors and it wasn't untill the last six years that i went to diesel. to me it was worth it. the wife is happy because she gets the trailer she wanted and i'm happy because i get the truck i wanted. (your also right about the wife being happy.)
have a good weekend in Pa.
