I know that you tow daily & Know your stuff.. But I gotta gooseneck/skid steer various attachments that I tow around on Texas highways (interstates & state highways & Farm to market roads) as well as off road. The Jd328 weighs like 8600#, most attachments 750 -950# except my cedar saw which weighs 1200#. My trailer base is 4600# plus 100gal diesel tank/ Full sized gas air compressor misc tools/ spares/chains/boomers/extra ramps. The point is loads are usually maxing out the trailer/truck & the 6.2 pulls very well without a lot of gear hunting. We have commented on this before because my '01 v-10 was the 2v...

I never drove the newer v-10 but the 6.2/6speed is a heck of a setup. My history is v-10 & 460s and the 6.2 doesn't lack anything compared to my past trucks..

Nothing scientific here - just using the truck & it performs well...
