Truck for Eagle Cap 1165?

IMO for just carrying a 6k truck camper you sure don't need a 450/550 truck with 4.88 gears.
Now if you had a GN trailer with 5k-7k hitch weigh and a 18k-22k lb trailer then those 4.88 would be a better choice.
The F450 CC has a 12000 lb RAWR and the F550 at 13k-14.7k lbs.
Some overkill is workable and too much overkill isn't the best idea.
The gas trucks won't have any issues with that big TC. Now if your planning on pulling a good size trailer also then the diesel makes cents/sense.
