I know right! ... Diesels are always thought of as mountain kings with oodles of torque! I think mpg was a primary target with the diesel engine choice and to that end they did well. For me I felt them to be fine around town and on the flat highway running empty during test drives but taking off on a hill showed me some of what to expect when loaded.
3.0L diesel V-6, 188 hp, 325 lb-ft torque
6.8L 2v gas V10, 305 hp, 420 lb.-ft. of torque
Certainly the on paper specs don't always tell the whole story and that's why it's good to purposely drive them yourself and see first hand how they feel. There's a pretty big power gap to make up for in transmission matching between those 2 engines and my seat of pants drives could easily feel the power difference.
