I had one in a work truck for about 40,000 miles, a 2008. I would weekly pull a 4500 boat and 8,000 boat. Some hills in areas to launch. I found that it was real close in power to my own 01 f350 with the old 7.3 powerstoke. The main difference is the v10 would get 8 to 8.5 mpg while the 7.3 gets 12 to 14 mpg while towing. The state police and sheriff's offices bought fleets of them for several years and mine had zero problems. I never read or was a where of any with problems as we had with both ford and chev 1/2 tons.
