would a diesel 6 cylinder like a Cumins 6.7 pull my 5er with a GVW of around 12,300 lbs?
Absolutely, all over the road semi trucks have 6 cylinder engines and pull 80k lbs all day every day. What you really have to look at in an older truck with higher miles is the transmission. The engine itself could easily go for over 500,000 if serviced regularly.
Look at my signature! Not the 2500 number, the Cummins ISB 5.9 6 cylinder with 299,000 miles pulling 11,500# with 3.55 gears.
Better yet look at Cummins12V98 towing about 23,000#!
Yes, six in a row will make it go!
