First let me say I own a 1999 Ford 550 powerstroke
so I'm prejudice to a certain extent.I've 72000 miles on it and I just last week replaced the set
of tires that came on the truck,try to do that with a Dodge tin metal chasis.As far as lugging is
concerned a 6 cylinder probably will out lug an
8 cylinder,but lugging is the best way to destroy
a crankshaft in any thing.Diesels or any engine
for that matter should be run in its Maxium power
RPM range,thats why you have a trans with lots of gearsAs far as weight and trailering ability I can
gross 19000 on the truck and 26000 combination,no
Chevy or Dodge is rated to do this unless you go
to a "big truck" configeration.And lastly power
I don't see many Cummins engines passing me when I
go to pulls with anything close to the load I haul.
