Which is better Dodge Ram or Ford V10?
The V10 (Dodge) is a good engine, better the the Ford powerwise, but it is not the Viper engine. The PS in not a bad engine, but it is a medium duty engine. Talk to some of the ford mecs who work on the PS, most say if you get 80K on the injector pump, you have done good. Mileage… 17 city, 23 hiway, not bad for 6,860 pound pickup. I’ll digress.

Which is better a diesel or a V10?
The V10 will get ~ half the fuel mileage of the Diesel. As for power and acceleration, I’ve driven new V10s that could not pull a sick whore of the pot FACT, almost got rear-ended pulling into traffic, because it would not accelerate.
