More then the mega huge 6cyl Cummings. The Dmax is king of the roost. And the new mini Max, the 4.5 Dmax that will show up in a year will also be one of the best on the market, taking up space of a Gen IV small block, while brining anywhere from 24-27mpg highway.
I'm a big fan of the Duramax series of motors, but the older 5.9 Cummins and the new 6.7 Cummins are great motors too. And the Dmax does make more peak power, but the Cummins makes more down low, where it counts (don't forget their 6.xx:1 first gear in the M6), which makes an ideal setup for hauling big loads. Again, not taking anything away from the D-max or the Allison trannies....
