We are looking at a Ram dually with the Cummings engine.

The Cummins engine is hard to beat, everyone will know you have a Cummins diesel, they have a distinctive sound.
I have had two Chevy Duramax Diesels. My current is a 2008 3500 (non dually). We use it to pull a horse trailer with living quarters. It is a great tow vehicle and the Allison transmission is rock solid.
I doubt Consumer Reports really tested dually diesels, and if they did I would question the sample size.
The one vehicle I would stay away from is the ford, not sure whose Diesel engine they have in it now, but for years they were using Navistar diesels and had a lot of problems.
