The v-10 makes more power than the 8.1 so i would think it would pull it fine. You would really need to consider the 4.30 gear ratio for optimal towing.

As to the V10 power, in other posts in the Superduty forum there is discussion about some ongoing car magazine tests where the V10 is comparing quite favorably to the 6.0.

In answer to your question.The V-10 will pull just as well as the 8.1L.

I switched from the 3.73 to the 4.30's and towed my 5th at 12K with both. the 4.30's were a great change for me and my towing capacity
