Also with little to no tongue weight... The whole reason I went with the 350 over a 250 was payload. I can tow a much heavier trailer, safely, due to the added payload.

We didn't by our diesel for the added payload or better milage, we bought it so we could tow better and easier without the engine having to work so hard. Turbo diesels are made for towing. Plain and simple. Turbo torque for going up grades and automatic downshifting and engine brake when descending those long downgrades.

When we were ready to upgrade to the Cougar, we had the truck that could handle that upgrade. Now we just set the the cruise at 65 and sit back and "watch the movie". As stated before, If diesel is an option I'd recommend go for it. You won't be disappointed.

I thought op was from Ohio. If CO there would be little doubt, go diesel.
