I have a similar setup. I have a 2019 Ram 2500 Tradesman with the 6.4 gasser and a 35’ Arctic Wolf 5th wheel. The dry weight is about 8600 lbs. I have pulled from Ohio to Montana/Colorado twice plus many other trips of lesser distance. In my opinion you will be fine. With the additional costs of a diesel truck over gas, the additional costs of fuel and maintenance just to get to the top of the hill faster isn’t worth it. I have gotten 9-10.5 mpg and considering the weight I’m pulling that’s decent. Having good trailer brakes is very important.
I also had a pull behind trailer before the 5th wheel and definitely the 5th wheel is easier to pull and maneuver.
Safe travels.
