To the OP
In 2012 I got rid of a 6.0 Ford Diesel and purchased a 6.0 GMC Gas 3500 4.10.
I pull an approximate 9000 lb toy hauler. I use it to tow up the Donner Summit in the Sierras. No, it is not as quick as the diesel, but it does get me there, EVERY TIME! No more tow trucks, no more $4000 repair bills, no more week-long stays in a motel waiting for parts.(Please. Don't bash me about "Bullet-proofing" or maintenance. It was over-maintained and none of my issues were bullet-proof related.)
It does take some getting used to, hearing the gas engine in the upper RPM band, but it sure does get the job done.
Any future campers, trailers or fifth wheels will be sized to be towed with the gas engine.
But that is just me
Good luck
