Keep in mind the OP is about a '13 model truck.
The problem is Ram hasn't had a big block gas engine since dropping the 488 ci (8.0) V-10 in '03.
Or GM dropped the 498 ci (8.1) in the late '00s.
Or Ford dropped their V10 in the late '00s.
These big blocks had the hp and more importantly the big torque numbers (450-500+) to pull heavy loads more easily without all the typical high rpm as our small block gassers require.
At one time we had a choice to pull heavy (similar tow ratings) with a diesel or the big block gas engine.
