That’s a broad question.

Common rail will give you the best rounded package, and I’d start with an 06-early 07 for the least issues with licensing without having to deal with delete/tune issues. Many guys act like that is no problem in their area, but it’s only a matter of time till it can/will be, and if you travel outside your area you can be profiled and ticketed for no emissions equipment on a truck that is “supposed” to have it.

As far as hp without nitrous, it all depends on your budget.

A vehicle registered to a different state skirts local rules.
Not necessarily.
A guy I know with a deleted and tuned 15 Powerstroke that is licensed in Michigan, got pulled over and ticketed for no dpf in New York. $750
The emissions equipment law is a federal law, not a state or local law. That’s why ticketing for being in violation can happen anywhere.

Is the 700-900rwhp range obtainable while still being able to tow a couple of times a year?

I have tow'n with that much horsepower. It is pretty easily doable, just not very comforting for some reason.
