Are we talking combined (GCVWR) or the actual trailer GVR?

I assume we are also talking SRW

It will do the job just fine. I pull 23K with my 08 6.4 and there are several of the 6.7's out there pulling the same.

They new tranny that is out with the 6.7 allows you to use the 3.55's but yet still have the lower gearing to get the load moving.

The new tranny also has the manual mode that alot of people seem to really like. I have not used it myself though.
