   If your looking to get pulled by a tow truck either will do the job.

   Pulling/torque is the diesels trade mark. The gas engine can equal it, but only at a much higher rpm.

   the differences show up in the rpm that torque peaks and how the truck[s] in question are actually geared [final drive ratio].
   the 7. 3 diesel power-stroke is by design a low end of rpm range pulling monster.
   getting a load moving always is the hardest part, keeping it moving, and accelerating is the job of horsepower. this is where the V-10 starts shining.
   here’s the deal in layman’s terms:
   side by side both trucks same gear ratio’s, both trucks attached to identical pulling sleds[with weights that move forward as sled is pulled, increasing the load on the trucks]
   and instead of a short pulling lane you had 5 miles of road in front of the trucks, here’s the out come.
   [both trucks leaving at the same time]

   the diesel would jump ahead off the line and continue to stay ahead until approx the first 1/4 of 3rd gear by this point the gas job will have gathered itself and be coming on strong. [at this point in a regular race it would be all over with a diesel win] because we have 5 miles of good dirt road ahead of us, there is time to see what else will happen.
   at this point the diesel has been running at approximately peak volumetric efficiency [the r. p. m. that torque peaks] and the driver has been doing a good job of keeping the engine at that r. p. m. now
   the engine starts moving toward it’s peak horsepower which is only about 1800 rpm above the torque peak. similar things are going on with the gas job, however the r. p. m. spread between peak torque and peak horse power is more than 3000 r. p. m. and this engine will eventually out run the diesel. [it may take the whole five miles to do this]
   in real life of every day work the diesel will out pull the gas job AND use less fuel doing it.
   unloaded, the gas job will be quicker [a lot quicker zero to 35-40] but remember either of these will be slinging around a 5-8k lb. unloaded vehicle with this in mind neither of these engines are slouches,
   in deed and fact when either is “duty matched” to a job neither can be beat.

   i drive a 6. 8 for work and i have drove my fathers 7. 3 and hands down the 7. 3 just has so much more pulling power it not even funny

   Diesel all the way. Empty, my F350 7. 3 will pass my uncles F350 V10. They are a high reving engine for what work they do. 7. 3 peak torque is around 1500 rpm. . . or in my 4. 10 geared truck. . . 50-55mph. The V10 power curve drop at higher rpms will be more than the 7. 3. Bumper to bumper. . . . diesel has more weight and low end torque against the V10. Not to mention when it comes to tuning. V10 tuning capabilities don’t begin to compare to that of a diesel. No replacement for displacement.
