Twice the rpm means you're running 2:1 gearing over the other truck meaning the engine is working half as hard to do the same job.

Twice the wear is measuring PPM of wear metals in UOA's. Using tuners to force more torque out of a small diesel engine so you can tow in a lower gear is making the engine work harder, not easier. I like most here don't plan on keeping a pickup truck long enough to wear out an engine gas or diesel so it's pretty irrelevant anyhow.
