Nice review.

A little weak with the MPG info.

They could have talked a bit more about the price-to-operate differential between the V10 & PSD.

ordually is starting off with a positive reputation.
Thanks for posting. Nice to see some real-world reviews. The towing MPG they posted, 10.4, sounds in the neighborhood for their small and fairly aerodynamic load of 5K ish. I disagree with their comment that the 5.4L is not enough for that load, but then again these are weekend racers. Like Monsta said, though, would be nice to see some more detail on the MPG and diesel cost. They offered a teaser on another review next year, probably will be a powerstroke.

Ord.

I agree , Real world review.. I have some old mag articles I want to get around and posting. Its when the V10 first came out in the SD. 1999 ish...
Interesting what was written about the V10 when diesel was not the performance main stay of the day......
