2500 Chevy Duramax vs 2500 Ram Cummins on the Ike Gauntlet
Good to see some Ike Gauntlet pulls again and no surprise the Ram performed better than the Chevy in braking performance and fuel economy. Link

My take is with this small camper the 6 speed/Cummins combo was a good fit. Go to 30k lbs and I believe you'll see a different outcome or different varying size slopes/hills.
YES let's see the big three with their DRW trucks towing 30k up and down. RAM should have the 4.10, GM only has 3.73 and not sure what Ford offers. Mileage and control of the load will go to the RAM. Ford will probably be faster than RAM but who knows.
The inline 6 does JUST FINE with the 6 speed. Higher revving V8 diesels may do better with more gears. I tow more weight than most anyone on here and West coast to boot. I see ZERO benefit to my heavy towing having any more gears.
