Horsepower is horsepower?
If that theory is true (in real circumstances), then a 385hp 6.7L Cummins diesel shouldn't spank a 381hp Toyota Tundra when both are tested 0-60 towing a 5740# boat. But it did. Must be the adva...

IIRC, the last Cummins Hannibal had was a 5.9L Cummins with only 250hp/460tq. If that was the latest diesel he has driven/owned, it doesn't surprise me that he doesn't recall diesels as "powerhouses" when compared to modern gassers.
Heck, the 2014 RAM HD will have a 410hp/429tq 6.4L Hemi available.
They've come a long way since 2003.
That's why you've never seen me post ridiculous statements like "any this will out tow any that". I only post "my" experiences with vehicles that I've owned and towed with. I've made it perfectly clear that my '03 Cummins was a SO and not a HO. I've also stated many times that if we towed much in the mountains, I would own my 5th Cummins powered Ram. There are no surprises. I've always been straight up with my experiences. None of the trucks I've owned have been powerhouses. Especially my current F250. But, it's quiet, reliable, issue free and makes me a lot of money as it doubles as my daily work truck.:B
...and THAT, my friend, is the important part :)
