What are you using to tow a 10k TT ??
My brother in law just totaled out his 1999 F-250 with the 7.3.. he tows an 10k Jayco travel trailer, and is looking for a replacement... He found a 2016 f-250 with the 6.2 gasser... it only has 12...

OK, I know this is may not be apples to apples to your situation and Ford vs. GMC but I had a 2009 GMC 2500 HD 6.0l gasser and towed from Kansas to California coast and back in the summer of 2012. This truck down shifted every 10 miles and really struggled. I hated the entire tow experience. I could never use the cruise control and drove 3000 miles with my right foot. A truly painful experience. This is towing 10,500 lb fiver.
Fast forward to 2016. I now have a 2013 GMC 2500 HD 4X4 Diesel Duramax. Towing from Kansas to Mesa AZ this truck down shifted once between home and Holbrook, AZ. This truck is a dream to drive, night and day difference in the tow experience. I tow with this truck in cruise about 90% of the trip and the tow is actually pleasant. Towing same 10,500 lb fiver.
Having said all tha I'll never, ever, ever go back to a gas engine truck for towing.
Just my 2 cents worth.
FYI, this isn't a Ford vs. GMC debate just sharing my experience of gas vs. diesel.
