Your specific intention to travel "out west" means you will be operating at altitudes anywhere from 2500 ft to 8000 ft plus above sea level. This is turbo charger country and the diesel will be right at home. A 3.5L Ecodiesel F-150 will also be right at home. A normally aspirated engine, not so much.
Gayle Banks makes a point of this in his recent video where he takes his 8.1L Suburban up Mt. Wilson, to demonstrate horsepower loss with altitude.
