Sure, the GM 6.0 in both ¾t and 1t plus the Ford 6.2 in the Super Duty. They will handle the weight and you will be satisfied with the ride as well.
I have a '94 12 valve Cummins and a 2002 6.0 Chevy. The Cummins = no prob with just about anything I put behind it...period.
The Chevy, though equiped with the Tow package and tow haul = barely get out of it's own way with my 8,500lb TT.
45mph on gentle Interstate hills of Kentucky is not acceptable and dangerous! The 6.0 has cold air intake and high flow exhaust as well, so I'm getting a few more useable ponies than stock.

I can't imagine hauling anything heavier. Just because something "WILL" haul something, doesn't mean it should.
I love the chevy, but gassers simply werent meant to haul in this weight class.
You can compare old to old, just what was being done.
That 94 Cummins didn't have very many horses either!! 175 hp and 420# torque.
