Also, I saw The Fast Lane Truck video of the 6.4 Hemi CC and its run on the Ike Gauntlet was dismal. At one point it was in first gear going 30 mph. Granted, it was hauling 4k lbs more than I would, but still, it was sucking hind tit.
In contrast, their test of the Cummins was the opposite, they bragged about it. Had to let off accelerator so they wouldn't speed. Day and night compared to the 6.4 Hemi. My sole usage will be in Smoky Mtns.

I think the TFL guys are all on crack. I put no value into their reviews. It isn't about how fast you get up the hill, it is about doing it safely and comfortably. The 6.4 with 4.10 gears would easily tow your rig in the smokey's.
However, it appears you want a diesel. Go buy one, you won't be disappointed, that is for sure.
And i went from a 2008 Duramax/Allison to my current 6.4. Sure, it doesn't have quite the power, but I haven't looked back one single time.
