I had a 2012 Ram Diesel with crew-cab and long bed with a six-speed manual. Thought it would be a great truck for us, but after towing our Jayco HT 26.5 RLS to Zion and back came to a different conclusion. The diesel is a bit underpowered since it has the manual and is not the HO engine.
I find it hard to believe that with 350 hp and 610# of torque you find it under powered towing a 5er with a GVWR less than 10,000#. I think you may have either had an engine control issue, or don't really know how to drive a manual transmission.
I tow 11,000# wet 5er that has a 12,360# GVWR with a 5.9 with less than 300 hp, and 3.55 rears and roll down the road just fine.
I really hope you enjoy your GM Dmax/Ally also a nice truck, but sounds like you are an auto driver.
