u are pulling you want torque it horsepower has nothing to do with it. the 6.2 will get about 18 mpg pulling tht load. and if it stock all u haft to do to get a lil more power out of it is to advance the timing just a hair not much or you will get an idle knock but just a hair. there is a reason us milatary uses them motors they will run on about anything and run for ever so your better bet is the 6.2
Agreed! I've always had an eye out for a 6.2 anything in good shape locally. They last forever (provided you get your own glow plug controls on), run on anything. But they're gutless.

Torque, hot horsepower pulls things.
