I will only be towing the camper 4-8 times a year and most of those trips are under 150 miles. I know a few guys that have gas 3/4 ton trucks and have picked their brains to the point of annoyance.
To a person they have really nothing bad to say about the gas engines when pulling a trailer and a couple use them every day for work trucks.
A diesel would pull better sure, but I don't think they make sense for my needs.

My brother has a '15 with I believe the 6.0. Work truck, hauls some bikes and sleds....he seems to like it just fine.

I have a F250 with the v10 5spd and 4.33 rear end Vek mentioned. For as much as I tow, I'm with ya. Diesel would of been nice, but not worth the extra costs.
