6.2 or 6.7

I'm on the verge of ordering my new truck and getting ready to move back to round rock TX. -ve got about a 1500 mile trip to go and a lot of stuff to move. I'm looking for the best motor that's going to give me the best power and mpg for commuting, when I get home I'm going to be pulling between 10-12k around 10 or 15 times a year as I keep my trucks about 10 years or so would it pay to get the diesel over the gas in this point

That would be the 6.7L 400hp and 800 tq and get high teens for mpg. Can't beat that from a stock truck.

deisel..

towing/hauling 10 to 15 times a year, is still at least once a month..

you'll easily get your money back out of the deisel upgrade cost.

I'd say the 6.7, the 6.2 will tow it but towing 12k for long distances will to much stress on it.
