Getting a load moving from a stop is an important part of tow capacity.
When you are starting from a stop the gear ratio math breaks down (you are dividing by zero). (of course it works in real life because of clutch or torque converter slippage)
Anyway, my thought is the diesel is probably better at getting a load moving because its power is at an RPM that is closer to the zero RPM of the axle.
Does that make sense?
