Good bye V10. What should be next?
We have had 3 Ford V10 250s and were very happy towing our big 5ers all across country. Our present 5er is 11,200 pounds empty. We just got back from the Ford dealer and will have to go with a V8 6....

I had the V10 in an F250...awesome truck. Traded it in when it was 10 years old with 200k miles on it...only repair was a new alternator. Got an 08 with the v8...what a dog. Finally traded that one in for a 2012 F250 with the 6.2 and 6 speed transmission. This truck tows WELL. We have a 550 with a 6.0 at work and the 6.2 handles the weight better! We only tow up to about 10k so your trailer is definitely heavier. I would go with the lower gears. You will like the 6.2 with the 6 speed...yes it tows better than the V10 too.
