Ah, I thought we were talking about pickups, not medium-duty chassis cabs.
Of course, even then, you're not telling the whole story...
The Ram 5550 (gas) you quote has the following specs:
GCWR - 26,000
Max Trailer - 18,960
I'll add that this is with 4.88 gears.
The Ford F-450 (diesel) pickup has the following specs:
GCWR - 41,800
Max Trailer - 32,500
In other words...Diesel certainly hasn't "jumped the shark" for those towing heavy.
