I've towed with and owned both V-10 and 7.3 PSD X. THe V-10 was capable of getting the job done in all conditions. However the towing experience and MPG's did not compare to that of the PSD.
If towing in the mountains the V-10 would use 50% more fuel.
Many say the PSD will never pay for itself in fuel savings which I agree however I could easily save $75.00-100.00 on a trip in fuel cost.
If I camp 2-3 weekends a month. The fuel savings is significant.
Lastly I used a Hensley an added air shocks to both X's.
With a back up camera hooking up the Hensley is not a challenge. Check out "Swift Hitch" or I-ball Cam. Both are portable will make hooking up a Hensley a piece of cake
