You choose - loaded gas or basic diesel?
If you had to buy a SD/HD truck today, what would you choose... a loaded, leather gas model or a diesel with cloth and just a few basic gadgets? Assume similar price, which is what I am finding.

It could be powered by a solid fuel rocket with no torque at all and still make it up a 6% grade:)
Don't get me wrong, the 6.2 is a very capable engine and will definitely get the job done. Just sayin', the 6.2 is gonna have to pull significantly higher RPM's than the Ecoboost for the same amount of torque--it will be a different towing experience.
Yes, for sure it will be different. But, it's nothing foreign to me. I used to pull a 7000lb TT with a 4 spd GM 5.3. Flat cruising was 2700RPM and even slight hills were at 4k in 2nd gear! This setup will be much better. I still have a little better power than the eco to compensate for the heavier vehicle. We may make one trip every few years out west to high elevation so I'm not too concerned about the loss of boost there.
