I am thinking of getting a Big Horn 1500 or lightly spec'd Laramie this summer when I get a larger travel trailer. I'm looking up built specs on vehicles for sale with the RAM VIN and have found a few that are in the 1600-1700 lb payload capacity which is what I need. I think I want the air suspension, but I'm deciding between the Diesel and the V8 etorque engine, both of which I have found spec'd as above. The trailer, loaded, will be 7500 lbs with a tongue weight of 850-900lbs including WDH when it's full/ready to camp. The RAM will become my daily driver and also obviously used for towing the travel trailer in Utah, over some decent hills/mountain passes.
My question is two-fold: which engine is nicest from a daily-driver standpoint? Which engine will pull that trailer best, especially climbing?
Thanks
