We're on our second V-10. This one a 2006. Loaded with our camper ready to roll we tip the scales at 13,300 lbs. On this trip we are pulling a 20 foot double axle trailer with two ATVs, lots of gas, spares for the truck and trailer and a cooler full of beer.

We love it and wouldn't hesitate to get another one except you can't get one in the new F-350s.
