bsqrd - For our relatively lightweight 5th wheel, I can only tell you that "I" would be happy towing it around Arizona with a 6.2L auto/3.73 F250. Most here as I'm sure you've gathered, would not be at all happy with it even towing around Florida. I'm thinking you meant a 6.4 or 6.7L diesel F250 is on the lot for a discounted price? The towing experience would no doubt be more relaxing with the 6.4L or 6.7L diesel. The sound of an engine running sometimes over 2k rpm above non towing rpm brings out the cringe in most people not used to hearing it or expecting to hear it. Doesn't hurt the engine at all but, it can ruin your trip if you cringe yourself into a painful migraine. For me it's music to my ears. If higher rpm makes you tense or if you're planning on high elevations in your travels, the diesel might be the way to go. I'll leave the topic of potential higher repair costs for the owners of newer diesels to respond to.
Thanks - yes 6.7L diesel V8 - is it music to your ears because with all the diesels you've owned - diesel gas is now more expensive and the modern diesel engines are more expensive to maintain and repair and you are thinking about what you will not be spending or another reason?
