Which would you buy? (2 diffent XL's)
I'm looking at two different F250 XL trucks. One is a 2019 holdback/leftover 6.7 4X2. The other is a 2020 4x4 with the 6.2. The 6.2 is backed by 3.73 gears. The only other real difference is one is a STX and the other (the 4x2) is not. I personally could not care one way or the other about 4X4. I'm also not in love with the 6.7 (was thinking of 7.3 originally). Which would you buy? The 2020 is actually about $800 less.

Why have you narrowed it down to those 2, very different trucks? Why not figure out what exactly you want, can live with, and just plain dont want.
Personally I wont own a truck that isn't 4x4.
That pricing is surprising, I know the 6.7l is $9k msrp more, but bieng a 2wd, leftover and non STX, seems like it would come out less.

If those two trucks were the only choice, and I planned on upgrading in the future, unless I had to have the diesel now I would pick the 2020.

OH, I plan to run this thing into the ground, or I die, whichever comes first.

Ok when I read you were going to go bigger in the future I thought you meant the truck, not the 5th wheel trailer.
Pulling a big 5th wheel is much more enjoyable with the diesel.
That's a tough choice. How much towing do you expect to do with a bigger 5th wheel and how big are you thinking?
Once or twice a year I would probably still get the gas engine in the nicer STX 4X4

2 thumbs up - drive them both if you have not yet done so - pick whichever one feels best to you and enjoy for many years to come!

I'd agree with most of the above posts, What will fill 90% of it's intended use and drive both 
I wanted to stay around the 40k mark and ended up ordering exactly what I wanted, I love the 6.2 & 6spd with 3.73 combo !
@ 30mph in Third Gear I turning around 1850 rpm's perfect for my suburbia drives & stop & go traffic.
