Welcome to the site..
The 6.7 is a pulling beast.. Mileage is pretty good too, empty and under loads.
How often are you towing, altitudes, grades etc? may be a tip the scale decision maker.. Future plans for over 12K?
Diesel is more cost initially, services and maintenance more, but for grunt, hard to beat. Resale, a bit better in most cases.
6.2 is very capable platform, and the price difference between the two would buy some gas
Don't have any real life stats between the 6.2/6.7,, but my new one,,, nice..
My old 05 6.0 was a great truck, well cared for and virgin to 175K, and towed some very heavy loads. I like the idea of have 'reserve' as far as power/torque load and weight pulling capabilities. Have you driven them both?

Gas or Diesel
Roughly tow 6-8 times summer. Not lots hills, unless down in Smokie area. Plan go out west in few years when retire. Probably not go over 12000# ant time soon if then.Just wasn't sure about long inclines or serious mountains.
