Indydirtfarmer or kyhayman may be able to help as they are pulling things all the time (according to their posting). I agree. If you are going to pull a big trailer a lot, get away from a half ton. Lotta people brag about their diesels. I don't have one. If I were to pull a big trailer and was going to buy a truck, I would be interested in starting torque to get the load rolling (brakes stop it). So, the "torqey" guys at LOW rpms (where you do most of your running) are the diesels and V10's. Diesel fuel has been above gas for quite awhile and the filter complex is expensive to change (friends have them). Gas on the V10 is not that bad and some diesels just can't get 20 mpg at 70mph pulling 12k lbs....but some SAY they do it (little fast for me with that much behind me). So be it. So I would personally be looking at the diesel; brand is up in the air. Don't like the sound of the 6 cyl Cummins in the Dodge, but I could get over that as that is a good combo. Have a Dodge now and friends with Cummins in them. Fords are all over "strokin" and I am seeing more and more Chevy Isuzu Diesels. Neighbor has one. No trouble and pulls good. Lots of choices.
