I cannot directly answer your question but I will share with you my experience.
I have been towing with Dodge 3500's with Cummins Diesels for some years.
I recently bought a Chevy 2500 with the 6.0 gas motor to pull my 5er.... It sucks..... Anyone wanna buy a Chevy??
I REALLY got spoiled rotten with the 1 ton Diesels. More stable towing, better brakes, much more power and much better fuel mileage.
I get better fuel mileage towing almost 18,000# with my Diesel than I do with the gas truck empty.
Having tried a variety of tow vehicles I have developed a very strong preference for Diesels.
Just my (somewhat biased) $0.02 :)
I hope someone more familiar with the Hemi chimes in.
