I am appreciative of the replies from everyone, I am starting to see a trend developing. I know I do not need a diesel for the trailer I currently have, but a part of me does want one, something about the torque is just very appealing to me. On the other hand I love the sound of a small block V8 revving and am not at all afraid of letting them sing to make their rated power. I have had a bad experience with my truck but by no means has it turned me off to owning a gas powered truck either. The truck I own did well with our current trailer until this summer, and the engine was never the limiting factor. I'm just done with worrying about the extra stuff I throw in the truck bed, or hauling with a full water tank when the park we are camping in has a water advisory, and my wife for the first time actually did complain about the engine constantly running at 3500 rpm on our last trip this summer. That was before the transmission went kaboom on the way home that same trip.
