V10's earning their keep!!!
Anyone have any pics of their V10 in action. I just updated my gallery with the horse trailer that keeps my truck earnin' it's keep. Fully loaded with horse and tack it tops 9,000lbs. Tomorrow I'll be hauling 2 horses up north, just over 10,000 on this haul.
Let's see the pics fellas.

This is not the greatest pic, but here I was moving my '73 F250 welding rig onto the site where I am building my new home (steel frame). I have the welding rig, Ibeam, C-Purlin, etc. It was not all that the V10 could haul, but it knew it was back there.

Actually that's exactly what I was going for. It earns the gas it eats by pulling what we want it to. Great pics guys, keep'em coming.
I always wanted to see a V10 pulling a 5ver. To those who do, how does the V10 take it?
Thought to actually post a pic

Here ya go. Here is our V10 (in an Excursion), pulling our 34', 8200 lb Citation trailer. V10 definitely knows its there, but it will pull this thing at whatever speed I want, both in mountains and flatlands.

With the 4.30 gears the V10 pull my 5ver all 15K of it with ease, 80% of the time on the highway in OD with no problem. In the mountians just go down a gear or two and wind it up and let it go. I average between 8 and 9 pulling at 60 to 65. Best motor I have ever owned hands down

When I pull the boat I preplan the trip, If the state doesn't allow it I don't pull there. I tryed to back up one time, it works but not to great, its like backing up a snake. 
I have a 50 gal aux tank of fuel so most of the time its none stop to were I am going, if I do have to stop size matters not price. I've been doing it for 15 years so I have it down to a science. The only thing that has changed is the trailers are bigger and the boat is smaller
