The Cummins is still without doubt the best engine out there in a pickup truck. That said, it may not be the most economical for you... I think unless you're doing a lot of rather heavy towing/hauling then you're probably just as well served with a smaller gas engine. A 360 would be adequate I think. I wouldn't have a V10 for nothing... If those two are your options, go Cummins, all the way... but I think you could broaden your search somewhat. Personally I get by fine with a Ranger for running around and lighter towing. If it gets heavy I have a heavy receiver and pintle on the tandem... so it does all the heavy hauling and towing. I got so sick of endless fixing, high insurance and a bottomless gas tank on the old one ton we had... it just had to get retired. I suppose somewhat like david... I don't much see the utility in the heavy 3/4 or ton trucks anymore...
