No dog at all in this hunt, but the Pentastar has higher tow/payload ratings than the EcoDiesel IIRC. Also issues with the diesel derating at times:

Update: The insurance company ended up totaling my Gladiator. I’m ok with it. The estimator at the body shop said that after a thorough going over if it was his he wouldn’t want it back. In the end we got $100.00 less than we paid for it in June 2021.
A lot has changed in our lives since then...
