I was in the same boat last year and ended up buying a 2008 Cummins with a 6.7 and an auto. I looked everywhere for a 5.9 with low miles, but couldn't find anything in my area after looking for 2 months. So far, the 6.7 has been perfect. All I've done is the DPF delete kit and I get 21-22 freeway consistently. My new trailer loaded will be right at 8500 lbs with the Chevelle in it. Nothing terribly heavy, but a decent load at 500 miles each way a few time a year. It's half the noise of a 5.9 and the trans has two extra gears which is huge. Just my 2 cents.
