So you are telling us you trailer 26,000lbs 500 miles daily through the mountains? For the bit of trailering that is done a time or two a month on average. Why do you need all this HP. As for the gasser and diesel HP comparisons . Instead of using the seat of your pants. Look at the results with two otherwise identical trucks and loads, one the higher HP gasser and the lower powered diesel. Other than your sensibilities being upset by a few extra rpms. The diesel is going to trail behind. Even more so as the direct injection gazers stomp over the EPA and CAFE choked diesels. This isn't the days of carbureted gasses and non emission diesels. The LS series 6.0 and 6.2 gassers are superior in a majority or truck and occasional duty trailering. The direct injection gas 6.0 or 6.2 will leave the diesel only for the diesel diehard . Who wants a diesel for ego and to program up to 600HP to smoke the tires and a smokey exhaust for attention. Lets not forget the exhaust stack sticking up behind the cab to compensate for his little willy.
