I've owned both. I had an 01' Ford 6.8L V10 and currently own an 05' Chevy Duramax diesel. There is NO comparison between the two. The diesel will walk all over the V10, especially while towing. Pulling my old trailer, which weighed about 7k loaded the V10 would struggle to pull the steep grades. With my new trailer which is over 10k loaded the DMAX pulls the heavier load up the same grades faster and a lot less downshifting. Gas mileage is way better in the diesel, I can get to Pismo in less than 3/4 tank of gas and a little over a 1/2 tank coming home. The V10 would use over a tank and a half to cover the same distance. The V10 was very reliable, so is my DMAX so far.
