He doesn't like the shifting, running 3000-4000rpm up some hills. Keep in mind his prior TV had a big block, 8.1L with more torque at lower engine speed.
6.0L is a small block with peak torque in the 4200rpm range. So if you need all it's power, it has to get into that range. IMHO, the 6-spd really helps accomplish this. Coming from a Navigator with 5.4L/4-spd, you'll be impressed. Comng fro ma big block, you may or may not be.
Thanks for the response. I don't much like the shifting and higher revving either, but unless I go diesel (which seems a little like overkill for me, my trailer and the predominant use of vehicle) it looks like I'll have to get use to it to some extent.
Do you like your performance in the mountains, assuming you go to the mountains?
