Yeah this is where it gets gray on me. I get that the diesel is better at everything but do I need it? I tow my boat at a distance greater than 5 miles about 6 trips a year so 12 total times. Each trip is roughly 200 miles each way so 2400 miles of actual towing. So far we've not towed anything farther not because we have no where to go but I'm not comfortable towing 600 miles on way in the 1500 over some major evelation passes.
So... if I got the diesel I'd probably be wanting to tow from the PNW to Baja tomorrow! Haha. In all seriousness though I think that a HEMI would do the job fine just at less effeciency and from what others have told me at a potential greater cost in wear and tear plus fuel burn.
In the end, diesel seems like the winner. I found a dealer willing to give me a decent price in trade so I'll dive in tomorrow and roll the dice
