Considering it essentially uses only the 2nd, 5th, 7th, and 9th gears of a modern Ford 10 speed transmission, it does pretty well!!

my 05 f250 v10er was a bear, hauled many a v12 DD marine engine with the trans sitting in the bed, when i placed my order .i failed to listen to many in this very forum, went with 4:10's when i was told get 4:30's . would have been a lot cheaper than what it costs 6 months later,

The only 2V V10 that I had in a 2003 F250 was paired with 4.56 from the previous owner and it performed wonderfully towing a 14k dump trailer daily. The truck was a rag doll when I got it from an acquisition of another business. Had 230k miles on it and needed everything suspension replaced. I had plenty of spare trucks laying around full of the parts it needed so it cost me very little to put it back to work for me hauling the dump trailer. Body ended up rotting away and it was a supercab short bed which didnt fit my use case so I retired it to farm use with 280k ish on it.
Like most of the complaints for heavy trucks being "turds", they come from people who are expecting car like performance from something weighing double without a trailer hooked up.
