What is nice about a 6 speed transmission is that in 5th gear with a 3.73 you will still have a lot of pulling power, but at a few mph slower. I pull heavy loads in 5th gear.
Apples & Oranges? Ford 6.2L - 400 ft. Lbs. @ 4200 RPM. Cummins 6.7L - 800-850 ft. lbs. @ 1600 RPM. Ford 6.2L - 9.8 to 1 compression. Cummins 6.7L - 17.3 to 1 compression ratio. 360 ci vs. 402 ci. V8 vs. I6.
Of course the Ford & GM diesel's are V8s.
