Cummins 6.7L Gasoline Engine in a Ram?

Back in the day, I had the most powerful gas engine you could buy(plus mods) in a truck to tow my 8k lb trailer. Truck had a 4 speed and after one trip towing through the Texas hill country, I traded that truck in for my first diesel. I am not saying that the truck could not pull it, it just didn't do it to my preferences and expectations. Of course, everyone's preferences and expectations are different though.

So, don't get defensive about the "My trailer is too heavy for gas" (which is not what I said). I just said that diesel is the only way "I"(as in me, myself and I) would go with "my" trailer. Not saying a gas couldn't pull it, just that I wouldn't want to be driving any current gas engine HD to do it. If I had to pull it with a gas truck, then I would probably go with a Ford 7.3L unless this Cummins 6.7L gas engine comes out and it is turbocharged.

None of my 427s where built. I would call the parts department at GMC dealer, load new, not rebuilt, but new engine in pickup, and change it in a parking lot. All same as what was installed in new twin-screw trucks.
Now I was stopped for overload, driving a diesel, at age 14. But 6 years later, buying my own truck, I bought what I could pay cash for, worked it until I could upgrade. Hauling asphalt, first truck to plant got first load, and first truck to paver, first unload. Near a roadrace, grossing over 30 tons. All the 671s and some of the 871s could load behind me all day long. Now when we hooked up the pups I was EZ to pass.
My point is with the technology available back then engines burned gas, and moved what needed moved. Coupled with the fact that emission systems on spark fired engines are pretty well sorted out, and compression fired is not, I can see light duty, (less than 30,000 gross) might be better to use gas.
