2. Probably not enough to notice.
3. Your vintage of 6.0 engine has 300hp and 360 torque. The newer gen 6.0 has 360hp and 380 torque. Also, the 6 speed transmission that has been mated to the 6.0 liter since 2007 is a vast improvement over your 4 speed. Also, the newer trucks have a stronger frame, larger brakes, and class V receiver.
4. If the 6.2 ends up in the HD trucks, it will be better but at this point that is purely speculation.
5. Yes, the longer the trailer the more likely sway will be a concern.

But, Fish, that 92, unless it was a 6.5 TurdboDiesel should have been one of the most reliable trucks.
In my experience GMT800s were a clear leader in reliability and simplicity.

Current Trucks:
If you want to stay with a gas I would give a Super Duty with the 6.2 and 4:30 gears a hard look.
The current GM 6.0 and transmission I'm not convinced you'll notice a big improvement.
Future Trucks:
Rumor has it that Ford will be rolling out a new 7.3 gas engine for the Super Duty line.
GM is working on a larger displacement gas engine too, but I'm not a fan of the 2019 half ton styling but not sure how much of the looks will be included in the HD trucks.
Fish is you are not going to buy a GM truck why would you care how it looks? My thinking is all 3 brands looks as good as the others just different. I feel this way about the others on this forum that what they have is the only way. However liking what your money buys is a good thing.
