Thoughts on the Triton V10 Engine

Looking to purchase an F350. I see lots of these engines with fairly low miles. I have heard they are great engines, but get poor gas mileage. Would use to haul my camper and pull a small boat for fishing trips. Would not be a daily driver. Just a play truck.

BTW, my current camper is fairly lightweight.....an Outfitter Apex 8 short bed. About 1800 lbs dry weight. I am looking to upgrade to a single slide camper though at some point.

Anybody had any experience with these engines hauling their campers?

Thanks.

Get a gasser. If you can find one, maybe look at a 2011 with a 6.2. Super solid engine and pulls pretty hard. From what I understand, mileage isn't too bad either as compared to the V10

Personally, I went diesel for work and play. Beside that, the truck was good deal and I like to wrench on all my own vehicles. The previous owner already paid for some of the important stuff that one would need to do to fix a 6.0. He was just tired of the maintenance and extra cost.
