I cant speak directly to the V10. I've got a 2001 24 valve Cummins and a 2009 Ford 5.7 gas both in 2500/250 series trucks. I love my diesels, got 11 pieces of equipment all diesel plus the trucks. With that said, I'm not buying another diesel pickup. Replacing a whole top end on the Cummins at 185000 miles cost about what two whole 5.7 liter long blocks would. Fuel economy is a lot better with the diesel but over the last decade diesel has cost more than gas more often than not. If I need a diesel truck I'll get a 'real' one, something with International, Volvo, or the like on the hood. For around and about I'll go with the gas ones. I'd a lot rather go with a smaller gas engine and lower gearing. None of them are going to get great fuel economy. For daily drving and etc I'd pick a good, cheap, used car.
