Yes, it would pull a trailer through the hills without even breaking a sweat! Would probably get phenomenal gas mileage too (and believe it or not, that's important to me). If it can make that 520 lb/ft up in the 3000-4000 rpm range, and then drop off at a reasonable rate, then you've certainly got my attention.
I would be really surprised if the new smaller Duramax engines turn more than 4500RPM. It is possible, but when you increase RPM in an engine, the design costs go up considerably.

Here's a bit of info on the Duramax Diesel, though I couldn't find a date stamp.
