Ford F53 and V-10 Engine

What kind of experience have you had with mountains and the Ford V-10 F53 setup? Thinking of a new MH with this under it.
  • Live in a valley at 2500 ft. Have to drive to 4000 get out of it. SoCal is full of mountain driving. No issues whatsoever with our rig. On the main freeway to our valley, the rig never drops below 50 mph even when towing a nearly 5000 lb trailer.
  • I put 23,000 miles on my V10 2008 Winnebago in the 2 1/2 years we owned it, from north to south and east to west.

    Never had a problem and we were towing a Honda Fit all those miles.
