Nothing wrong with the V10, although the fuel economy could be better. Lots of torque. Gear it right, and should have no problem.
Only real problem is you can't get it in a pickup. You'd have to order a cab-chassis and add a bed, but that potentially could mean skipping out on a lot of amenities.
The V10 with the 6R140 torque-shift seems to do at least as good fuel economy wise, as the 6.2L with the 5R110.
