Grit Dog,
Thanks for the advice.
When you say you wouldn't consider a gas engine, are you talking explicitly for torque/grunt/acceleration? (All important, of course.)
Since I won't be towing more than a couple times per year, I suppose I can live with the lower performance of a gas engine...but...just how much difference, practically speaking, are we talking about?
I mean, are we talking about on-ramps? Going up a grade? Situations where the gas engine might actually be a safety issue?
I know I'm wading into probably one of the oldest truck/towing discussions ever, but would still like to hear your thoughts...and, if/when someone else comes across this thread, the more complete it is, the better.
Thanks...
