Throwing this out there. Be honest with yourself. How far do you tow and how often? Alot of friends have campers and buy diesel trucks to tow them. They brag about being the first on top of the mountain. Most never go more than 70 miles. You don't need to fly and you don't need to scream your engine. If you drop a gear going uphill, it is possible to lift your foot a little, lower rpm slightly, and go up the hill. My dad has had 2500 GM trucks since 2004, all 6.0 I think. They have done well for him, but he doesn't pull anything heavy.
