Love to Camp,

Is the 3.0L diesel overkill? Based on my towing with my 4.7L gas engine, and our 5.7L Hemi gas engine, I don't think so. But, I am at high altitude, and will tow many miles at high altitude, climbing many hills. My 4.7L normally-aspirated would have frustrated me on every trip.

Since you speak of a hemi, I am guessing you are talking about a Dodge? I wonder what you are asking of your TV. I have towed my 3023 over a couple of 7000 foot passes with my 4.6 F-150 with no problem. In fact, I went over the Donner pass between Sacramento and Reno at 55 on cruise control. Seems to me that other manufacturer's products in that class would be roughly equal. But, perhaps not.
I have also towed up to Silver Cliff, CO at 8000 feet with no problem. After all, my 3023 weighed in at 4000 lbs. It doesn't seem to me that we should need maximum TV's to pull that sort of weight.
Well, that's my .02 I guess.
