Gas or Diesel
My Son is looking to get a 2015 Ford F-350 CC SB. He's trying to decide between the 6.2 gas or pay extra for the 6.7 diesel. He currently has a 6.0 diesel so he knows how the diesel pulls. ...

According to the 2014 Trailer Life Tow Ratings, a 4x4, F350 CC SRW with a 6.2 gas engine has a tow rating of only 12,000 lbs with a 3.73:1 (not big enough to pull your 14,000 lbs trailer; or 15,000 lbs with a 4.30:1 rear end gear ratio. The diesel will have a larger pulling capacity with any of the offered rear end gear ratios. And if you go DRW, the tow rating gets MASSIVE. I could not find the 2015 ratings. I prefer a gasser for many of the reasons mlt22 gives, but with that trailer weight, I would go the diesel.
