There is a 700 lb difference between the 7.3 and the 6.7 motor. With everything being equal besides the motor itself, based on weight alone I would say that the diesel would have a better ride quality. Saying that, I have never even laid hands on a SD with the 7.3, let alone ride in one, but I have put 4000 miles in a pretty basic XLT with the 6.7. I remember when I picked it up from the rental company I immediately noticed how rough it rode... to be fair I also came from a platinum trim Pathfinder... so there's that. But, after a little time in the SD I grew accustomed to the ride and didn't find it to be terrible, just not what I was used to.

Based on the question, "One a 1to1 comparison, do you think the ride quality would be the same?" I assumed he was asking how the ride quality is with the same truck but different engines. Looking at the screen shot I shared, it looks like you can set up the front suspension on a diesel and a gas to be the same. Saying that, I would imagine the gas with the lightest rated springs would be about the same ride as the diesel with the lightest rated springs, but if all things were equal except for the motor, the diesel would be a little better ride quality.
