He got tired of getting smoked on any hill no matter how slight by me (7 .3 Powerstroke)and his dad (6.6 Duramax). The 6.0 once the week links (egr cooler) are dealt with are much better tow vehicles, better mileage, and a shit ton more power.
If your towing 10,000 lbs constantly yes.. If your towing 6 or 8000 lbs occasionally, doesn't make any sense at all.. The extra initial cost, and substantial maintenance costs far out way the gains for a part time tow vehicle IMO.. The V10 has been a good, reliable hard pulling motor for me for 130,000 miles..
