Basically the motors in those trucks are what Ford runs in F-250-550. Though it's available in the 650, I'm sure most opt for the Cummins ISB (same motor Dodge uses in the Ram) or Cat 3126B. Works ok on the low end for 26,000lb with a big rear. The big diesel motors don't have much more HP, but the torque numbers are 700-1000 lb/ft.

A big, heavy truck is really what is needed when towing a heavy load. A 1 ton truck like the F350 may actually tow a very heavy load like a back-hoe or tractor, but if you have to stop quickly or if the trailer gets squirrelly you need the heavier truck to stop it. Of course, if you can afford a toy like the CXT, your wallet should give you all the extra weight you need.

Dodge's is a customized Cummins ISB.
GM is about the only one you could almost say is built "in-house" as they own part of Isuzu who makes the Duramax.

Ford doesn't build diesel motors. They purchase them from Internation-Harvestor (yes, the same motor under the CXT hood is under the hood of Ford F-250 through F-650 with the Powerstroke...just the Ford's are tweaked differently.)

That's the kind of motor found in a Class 8 truck (Greater than 36,000lb GVWR). I.e. "big rig".
