An Eco-Boost version of the V10 would be great!
We have 4:56 rear diff gears in our small (~12K lbs. loaded) V10 motorhome and so far it has strongly pulled any grade at speed that we have traveled on ... including some up to 11,300 ft altitude in Colorado this past fall.
What I like most about the V10 - once I got used to a relatively high RPM engine in a truck chassis - is:
- Vibration-free and ultra-quiet idling for coach battery charging in noise sensitive camping areas, day or night rain or shine.
- Vibration-free and ultra-quiet idling for quick lunches in scorching parking lots during summer trips when the built-in genny might sound a bit loud to shoppers coming and going outside.
- Ultra-quiet low RPM engine running noise if arriving at a campground late or leaving from a campground early.
- Having an engine that uses the same fuel as the built-in generator, with the fuel type being available everywhere.
- Less overall vehicle weight due to not carrying around a huge piece of engine iron.
- Kindof "high RPM spirited performance" in the RV that puts a smile on my face like a sports car did in my life a long time ago.
