BertP, why do you think I said (Naturally Aspirated) because I know the Diesel's are Turbo'd.
I'm sure that without the turbo you wouldn't make near the torque that they do. That doesn't change the fact that Diesel's are turbo'd from the factory and the gassers are not. Turbo the gasser and now you just spent damn near the same amount for the Diesel upgrade but you still get piss poor gas mileage. You have to change your gearing and with the turbo you better start putting in the exspensive stuff. No more 87 octane or you will be knocking at the sight of the first hill.
So where are your savings after all that. Don't know about other places but here Diesel is about 30 cents cheaper then premium.
Uhhh....of course that might change tomorrow. LOL
BarryPh1, personally I believe with a trailer of that size you could go with a Titan or F-150 and be fine. However, if you decide to upgrade your trailer then you might be unhappy in the future. If you know this is it then a 2500 might be overkill not worth the extra dough.
