What deafening noise? Maybe if your exhaust is rusted out.
Our V10 is smooth and quiet. You can hear the change in pitch when you get up to 3000rpm but nothing deafening.
Talk of 5500rpm is just trying to sooth his ego to justify why he paid so much more for a diesel.
Again, you have to figure that you only tow a 7,500 lb trailer with a V10 which any half ton on the market can do(even the 3.0L diesels). One can say pulling such a small load with a V10 that is rated to tow 15k is soothing an ego just to justify a gaser. Start pulling closer to that V10's max ratings up hills at higher speeds than 60 mph(if you can even get there) and you will know what 5,500 rpm sounds like.
You mean like the thousands upon thousands of large class A motorhomes that use the V10?
Yeah, like this one which is on this class A that is only 22k. Just hear how "quiet" that engine isn't and how they get 6mpg versus double that in their past diesel class A.

Vallhalla is only towing 14.5k combined so of course his will not have to scream as loud as something that is 22k combined like mine is when towing my RV and hardly ever goes above 2k rpm towing it.
