I don't think you can get anything but the 3.73.
I too am curious how these gas engines do towing heavy. My 2005 Duramax is at 292,000 miles and I'm thinking of replacing it in a year or so. I don't usually tow more than about 14,000 with the truck loaded to about 10,000 with my tools. I'm undecided if I really want one of these new, complicated, temperamental, expensive diesels. I can't find much real world info on people using the gas trucks for work and towing on a regular basis.
