The V-10 with the right gearing tows just as well as a similar year diesel. If you like the truck then swap the gears to 4.56 and it will pull hat 14k lbs effortlessly and in O/D. And yes he V-10 will last a long time towing that weight!
I tow 9k lbs with V-10 X with 4.30 gears. I swapped from 3.73 to 4.30 and it was night and day difference. Looking back I kind of wish I would've went to 4.56's. But for my weight 4.30's are perfect. There are many people on here that went to 4.56's and are glad they did.
X2. And if it were me, I would plan for the 4.56 conversion (each axle of course), however would try the 4.10's first. It might surprise you if you are running a 6 speed transmission.
