The V10 would be great, but have you looked at a Chevy/GMC with 8.1/Allison? Would be a gas guzzler but I owned one and it was a towing animal...just food for thought...I had it in a Chevy 2500....The V10 again, would suit your needs, just figure if you're going to go that route, if you could find a good 8.1/Allison, it comes with 4:10...just another option to think about:)
Except, the last year for the 8.1L is 2006, unless you can find a rare 2007 "Classic" model, which is really a 2006. The Ford is a 2009, three years newer.
Plus you can *FIND* the Ford V10's. They're a lot more common than the 8.1L's. I stumbled across mine by pure luck. It was the first and only 8.1L I came across for sale.
Heck I didn't know it was an 8.1L until I went to look at it.
Heck I didn't know there was such a thing as an 8.1L until I came across this truck four years ago!
They're rare as hen's teeth.
