This is what happens when you bring a knife (torque) to a gunfight (HP).
Since my RVing is not a race, I will take the eco diesel any day over the gasser. There are more things to consider than how fast it can go WOT up a hill. It would have been nice if they shared the rear end ratios, the fuel economy numbers at WOT up that hill towing, and the hp and torque numbers for each engine. It would be fun to watch the same two trucks/trailers climb WOT up the interstate to the Eisenhower tunnel and see what altitude does to the test results. Turbo diesels excell at altitude.
