2018 Dodge 3500 dually gas motor row ratings
With the super high diesel ratings they have, how do the gas motor ones rate?

Also a big difference between NA gas engines and turbo engines(diesel or gas) when you put a load on them.
Turbochargers respond to load (unless the computer stops them), so they have the ability to tow better.
A 350hp/400 gas engine and a 350/400 gas turbo engine may have the same raw acceleration at full throttle.
But hook a load to it or go up a hill, and the turbo will do better with less throttle opening. Boost will increase, increasing power, even at part throttle if you increase load.
I'm not sure if diesels are the same but I assume so.
That's why the ecoboosts do so well in towing tests.
