I'm gonna say no a 6.5 could barely pull a 30-40 ft trailer with just one truck or tractor

I will never put in a cummins where a detroit belongs. I think this 6.2 detroit will fit my needs for hauling my toys around. I might not make it to mud bog or fair the quikest but as long i make it i will be happy with my truck.
