I personally dont care which would be faster from 0-60 towing. Diesels pull better, with better MPG loaded up as well as empty, and with greater ease than a gasser. They simply do a better job pulling loads and I dont see how anyone could argue the point? Sure they cost more money..who cares? They do the job better and more easily...at least for me. If you are happy with the gasser, more power to you..I just prefer diesel all the way around:)
Totally agree! See above pic. Same load with a 6.4???
You would be looking at Ib's tail lights the whole way Cummins. Sorry to break it to ya but it's the truth.
I would have to disagree... Watch this video of the 6.4 Ike Gauntlet around 13:50 where a diesel pulling a camper simply flies by the 6.4. Also the when the truck drops down to 1st gear it becomes painful to watch. I think we all know any diesel powered truck would be the better performer here.

Or when the 6.4 Hemi is powering a 4500 truck loaded is reported being sluggish. There's no cummins comparison, but I'm willing to bet the cummins would again outperform the Hemi when handling heaving loads.

Now if we are talking 2500 unloaded trucks (notice I'm comparing light trucks) I could see a 6.4 Hemi outperform a cummins.
Yeah that first video the diesel truck did blow right by but he should pulling a load probably 4-5,000# less. Did the diesel have a tuner?
