I wanted a diesel but I could not find anything this nice that wasn't at least $8,000. The Cummins really jacks the price up. Most of the cheaper ones were rough and high miles. We will tow a gooseneck horse trailer with it. I have not hooked up yet but I would imagine it will do just fine. The mpg will not be as good but she will not be doing long hauls or towing more then a few times a month so I don't think we will make up the difference to a diesel in the gas bill for a long time. Plus it is much cheaper to fix if something does break than it would be on the diesel. If the right diesel came along I would sell it to upgrade but you won't find a running clean Cummins truck under 200k for the $ I spent on this.
