Shop around and see if you can find a Diesel class C. I had the V-10 and it was so sick on HP and torque it would change gears going up and overpass. We were very displeased with the V-10 version. Shopped around and found a 2009 Coachmen Concord with the 6.4 diesel and there is a thousand times difference in the performance and the fuel mileage is 1/3rd better. Not to mention the life of the engine. Can't imagine why they even put gas engines in a vehicle that large.
Though we would all agree with your point on "shifting behavior at over-passes" this is quite the opposite of what I typically read for the E-series chassis. The V10 is a top performer in regards to power (yes at high rpms) but the 6.0L diesel has been very disappointing and also quite temperamental in the reliability department. Since you mentioned 6.4L diesel, I wonder if that is something else altogether different.
