To put things in perspective - the might Dodge Ram Cummins 6BT debuted in 1989 with a whopping 160 hp, and ground-breaking 400 lb-ft. It also had a class leading 16,000 lbs GCWR.
Now we have 100 more hp, and 80 lb-ft more torque, in a 1/2 ton diesel, coupled with a MUCH better transmission.
My 2002 Cummins had 235hp and 460tq. It was an awesome puller. The 3.0L ED will be awesome for pulling an RV.
I had a 99 with 235 hp/460 lb-ft. It wasn't that awesome to me until I added another 150+ hp. In stock form it would loose speed going up hills towing just a 10k cattle trailer. Low speed pulling it was great, but it would have trouble holding 65 mph on hill steeper than 3%. Modified, it had no issues pulling 10k at 65 or even 70 mph up any hill.
