Has nothing to do with gearing.. It's all about ACTUAL pin weight and real world payload you get with a 3/4 ton truck (regardless of brand).
If his TV were gas then yes gearing would absolutely be a factor. THe fact he has a 2014 Cummins, gearing is a non-issue. That motor will pull that trailer just fine regardless of gearing option. 3/4 ton payload and pin weight are the limiting factors at play here.
