V10 Dealing

I am in the search and testdrive for my next truck. The pros and cons of diesel vs gas is well known to all who use this site. My question is in regards to the V10 and how much are the dealers dealing to rid themselves of those big gassers? I would think they rather push the 6.0 since everyone wants one. The F150 has the vibration issues. The 6.0 has the extra cost issue and the coming ULSD cost. The V10 has a little thirst issue but not at all bad. What will I face if I happen to find one that I like. Thanks bluefire

Good question- lots are stacking up. The question isn't that dealers will do- there's cost, and they'll make a profit somehow. The question is whether the incentives will improve.

BTW- F150 vibration issues are grossly overstated.
