I guess you have to try and sort all of this out but let me say this... either way you will have awesome towing power. Your gas mileage will be a little better with the diesel but not significantly. I personally would go with the diesel but only for the mileage. It does add up after awhile. Not sure what type toy hauler your going to get but just to set the record straight I have a 5000# (dryweight) Toy Hauler. Fully loaded I can maintain 50+ mph up any 7% grade with no problem. Yes I have to drop it in second and I'm turning some RPM's but it will do it. (This is why I use my sons Ford with the Powerstroke). Secondly unless you want to replace the tranny ever few thousand miles you should NEVER tow in overdrive. Good luck with whatever you choose.
