Which Truck would you tow with ?
I'm having a problem deciding which truck to use tolling my 5th wheel. I have a '94 Ford F250 4 x 4 7.3 Diesel 5 speed. (180 hp, Torque 338 ) I also have a '96 Chevy Crew Cab 3500 4 x 4 5.7 gas engine...

We travel mostly in Arkansas, Missouri & Kentucky.Some of the hills are steep & with the diesel , sometimes 15 mph by the time we get to the top. Was just thinking the chevy would handle the weight better. Chevy may only be going 15 mph at the top also, but, I am still thinking about the weigh of towing.
A 3500 vs a F250. 185 vs 255 HP.
75 more HP is a bunch!
Unless the Chevy has some screwy gearing the Chevy will be a waaaay better towing experience for what you describe than the oil burner Ford.
If you had a 275 HP 2003 PowerStroke the advice would flop.
