I've driven a neighbor's Chevy with the 6.0 and in my opinion it is not a good engine for a work truck, all that engines hp and torque is at around 4,000 rpm so to me it didn't seem like a practical engine for towing. Last year when I bought a truck I went with a '99 Dodge 2500 diesel and other than being a little dissapointed in the fuel mileage (I've been averaging 12-13 with general farm driving) I really like the truck. At times a diesel is a little bit of a hassle, in the winter it needs to be plugged in and fuel can be harder to find but I don't think I will ever go back to a gas truck. I went with the Dodge for the Cummins engine, if I was buying a gas truck I probably would not have considered a Dodge but after having one I wouldn't rule out one with the V-10 if it was priced right. In my opinion the newer GM trucks are not designed to be heavy duty work trucks, they're more like SUVs with beds. For me it came down to I could either buy a truck that rides like a car or a truck with a tractor engine and when I answered that question Dodge was my only choice.
