   the dodge of course. but everyone has their own preferences. the dodge creates 650 lb. ft. of torque at 1500 rpms. not to mention the inline 6 cylinder engine is very reliable simply because it has alot less moving parts than a v-8 diesel. any one of the three trucks could pull the trailer. the 7. 3L ford diesel would be my second choice. the 7. 3 is probably the best diesel engine ford ever put on a chassis. pulling a trailer the cummins will get the best fuel mileage of the three.
