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.
Again, this in the range of size the OP is talking about. He is not talking about towing a 15k trailer.
