Sweet truck. I currently tow with a CTD but agree with comments about the initial expense and the increasing complexity of the emission era diesels trucks of all brands. I have an older truck with a Banks kit on it, so I'm at approx 325/650. A bone stock 24V would be a dog.
I would suggest getting at least 500 miles on it before you tow. That will seat/condition the ring and pinion properly and give a longer life. Towing too soon can wreak havoc on an axle.
As others have mentioned, that thing has to rev, don't let the noise scare you pulling a grade.
