OK, I think I'm following now. I agree with the above posts, especially about the Cummins being the slower of the three.
Just yesterday a buddy called me after test driving one and was disappointed in how it felt. He's coming from a tuned 5.9 straight drive, said his older truck felt 10x's stronger. I tried to explain that mine drives EXACTLY the same with my camper as it does empty. Lots of torque management going on too.
As said, you have to tow with it before the perma-grin shows up.
OP you're kind of in the same boat I was in coming from a 6.0 gasser and shopping new. Sure a new gasser would be a huge improvement but I asked myself this, in one year which one could I see myself regret buying?
