Ace, I have been pulling an 11,000 pound 5th wheel, over all kinds of roads for the last 4 years of full time RVing. I couldn't find the article you are refering to so I'll reserve comment on its content except to say it wasn't going uphill pulling 11,000 pounds. I drive a Dodge which has 325HP and 600 ft. pounds of tourque and a 4.10 rear. The torque reaches 600 pounds at 1600 RPM. Try that with your V10. By the way in flat country we get 14MPG at 58MPH which is accomplished at 1725 RPM. I bet your V10 pulling 11,00 pounds with a 4.30 rear can't get 8MPG. By the way how much HP is left on that V10 at 5,000 ft., not much I bet. Enjoy your V10, I'll stick with my diesel. This will be my last comment on this subject.
