Maybe in flat Florida A 6.0 will deliver acceptable performance. Even in MD as long as you don't head west the 6.0 maybe adequate. However towing in western MD and into WV and some some areas of PA where the hills are quite steep and the terrain is not flat I prefer more than a 6.0 gasser.

As I mentioned to another poster who felt their 6.0 spinning 3k had no power, if you performance pulling 9k with your 6.0 is subpar, the vehicle needs to go to a mechanic.
