This^. Because towing w/ the 3.6 even with 4.88s through the Colorado rockies every other weekend during the summer would suck. Even a 3500lb camper would have the 3.6 struggling. My logic for the diesel was for the torque and not having to keep the rpms up high like you would on the 3.6 which gets old very quick on long trips.I was looking at the diesel for towing so the truck wouldn't be at redline every time I drive through a mountain pass. I'm assuming this thing will still outperform the v6 towing but them stating the max tow is less than the v6 is concerning? IDK, the torque numbers say otherwise so I'm left confused. I'm not looking to save money or soak in the smell of diesel at the pump, I just don't want to feel like a piston is going to fly out of my hood every time I am going up anything over 8% grade.
