Newbie here, advice on tow rig?
To preface, sorry for the long first post. I've read about 50 pages of the diesel vs gas thread and it's exhausting, so I thought I'd start my own in hopes of getting some realistic non-biased advice....

Thanks for the insight everyone. I was under the assumption that the 6.0 would be underpowered. I'll consider that as well, they seem to be much more common anyhow. At the moment, my suspicion of diesel is falling by the way side. Bottom line is I probably don't NEED it, and with what little use the truck will see, I don't know that the extra cost to own it would make sense.
I've looked at the Ford v10, but have yet to see anything reasonably priced that was 3v and decent mileage. I haven't considered the 5.7 hemi trucks, for a totally different reason in that I really don't like the interiors, but I'll have to consider them as well if I can find a decent deal on one.
The comment about buying new also makes sense. My only thought regarding new would be that if it were a great deal, and warranty was extended, I wouldn't likely have to buy another vehicle for 10 years, which would be great.
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions and non-biased opinions.
