Well I might as well give the V10 a plug too. I have towed with diesels for 11 years but in 04 I got hung with a lemon 6.0 . Ford took it back and let me order my 05 V10. Long story short, I love the thing, it tows my 2955RL like a dream. In 05 they bumped up the V10 to 362 HP and it is a real sweetheart. So nice to start up in the Campground early in the morning and know you are not making enemies. Each to his own, but I will be sticking with this V10 for many years I hope.
