and about the off roading, my thought on that was just based on the weight savings over the diesel but still loads of torque basically giving you the power of a diesel

The V10 is going to tow differently than the diesel will.

The V10 is also down almost 200lb-ft or torque for the 2008 models.

From the 6.4, yea. From the 6.0 and 7.3... not so much. The V10 is down 100 ft lbs from the 6.0 but horsepower is near identical. Not to mention far less problems.

And the difference is a V10 makes its power the second you push the pedal. No turbo lag.
