Had same problem as you V-10 or 6.2. Ended up with 2010 F-350 crew cab short bed V-10. Love it . Tows my 10,000 lbs. 5th wheel great . I to am planning trip out west next summer, so we will see how it does in mtns . Seems like this V-10 has more mid range power , and with 4.10 gears it does ok from a dead stop also. Only have towed on flat land in Ohio getting 8/9 mpg. I think 6.2 is a capable motor, but some guys complained about 6 speed trans and its shifting especially while towing. For me it came down to the 6.2 is still a new motor, just like 6.7 diesel , need a few years to work out any problems.
True. The v10 has been around for a while. Plus 10 cylinders just sounds cool.
Prices are slightly better than the '11 6.2 around here too. Im looking to spend about 20k or less on the tv if this plan to rv for a year works out. For that you can get a '10 f250 xltcrew short box 4x4 (mouth full) with around 120k kms.
