What is the advantage of the v10 over the 6L diesel. Is it worth getting the v10 on the 350 If I plan on plowing snow and pulling a trailer (12000lb).

In some configurations you can't get the plow package with the diesel. If you want a crew cab, you can't get the PSD and the plow package.

How often and how far is the key question. A diesel will provide you with longer life if the towing is heavy, often and over long distances.

A V10 will do the job if you tow a few times a year.

I think they have worked out most of the bugs on the V-10 But are just starting to find the bugs with the 6.0..
I would give it a year+ before I spent my $$ on a 6.0
You should have no problem towing or plowing with the V-10.
