[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 2913557, member: 7629"] my 12v 4x4 Cummins 5sp was originally rated 215hp with 440 lb torque .. yes it's got the torque but the real advantage for diesel vs gas is fuel efficiency and in my case 12v Cummins very low costs of operation. being able to tow say a 7k lb trailer at 16mpg vs 10 mpg .. it's all about the stopping .. being able to set your trailer brakes to slightly higher bias makes a HUGE difference in safety if/when brake fade becomes a problem. besides manually feather trailer brakes .. when your brake controller is hydraulically activated, you've option where trailer brakes slows tow vehicle first and/or proportionally everytime. which is pretty darn important when tow vehicle weight is less than trailer.
