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.
Mine had the RV275 injectors, and an Edge EZ box on it by the end. Stock was a huge improvement over the 2001 2500 I had that was outfitted with the 360 gas engine and 4.10s.
