The diesel posts are for another thread.
To answer the OP, yes, there are gas motors in the 3/4 & 1 ton market that will more than ably pull 13k thru elevation. 6 speed transmissions make a huge difference as well as 4.10 gearing. To 2nd the post above from Fishbreath, the gas motors wind out when they need to; that is where they make their power. Doesn't bother me a bit and it shouldn't, as that is what they are made to do. I can pull 9k at 60mph running about 1900 rpm or I can run at 3k in tow/haul and it sounds sweet and smooth as powdered sugar.
