A few weeks back we were looking at a slide in truck camper for our friend. The guy who owned it had a new power wagon with the 6.4. So it caught my eye and I asked him about the truck. Well he had owned a 06 with the Cummins prior and had several problems with the injectors on his stock truck. He traded it in for the 6.4 and he had nothing but good to say about it. Now before anybody goes on my last comment about the 5.9, all he said was he had injector issues and it was a costly fix. Probably bad fuel but I know nothing more of it. Anyway I looked at the truck and really liked it, granted it was the power wagon and sat really high, had a factory winch, but had a really nice interior. Being only about 8 months old, he had no issues. He towed a large ocean boat and a smaller TT. The TT was about 30 foot, the boat I don't know cause I never saw it. He mentioned he liked it better then the previous truck. All I can say is drive one, they appear to be a good solid truck. Btw just to add to your current truck. You have the older 6.0 with 4 speed version. The newer 6.0 and 6 speed is much improved and much better in my opinion. And yes I have owned the older version and have the newer one now. There is a large difference on how my 09 tows verse my 02.

I think the Power Wagon comes from the factory with 4.10 gearing if I'm not mistaking so that might be one for the OP to look for to test drive.

The Power Wagons are not designed to tow heavy. While my 6.4 hemi with 4.10 rear has a tow rating of almost 16K lbs, the tow rating for a 2017 Ram Power Wagon with 6.4 and 4.10 rear is a little under 10K. I can only guess the suspension components are the difference and limiting factor.
