I've owned 3 V10's. Bought a new 2004 F250 4x4, 6 speed manual & 4.30 gears with 35" tires, carried my present camper easily. Fuel mileage was 14-15 running empty at 65mph and 8-9 with camper running 60-65mph. Never a lack of power. My 2001 Excursion 4x4 ran 4.30 gears with 35" tires and averaged about 13-14 running 65mph. My present 2000 F350 Dually 4x4 with 4.30 gears, auto trans and carries the camper like it's not there gets 8-9 running loaded and about 13-14 at 65mph empty, with stock 235x16" tires. I've pulled my 28' boat on a triple axle trailer and weighs 14k without any problems with all 3 trucks. The best is the dually though. Never had any problems with the V10 engines, would buy another without a doubt.
