I'm not sure about you guys but mine keeps getting bigger everyday, I'm always getting asked just how does that V10 pull that trailer, what kind of mileage to you get, whats it cost to maintain, how well does it pull in the mountains. We are fulltiming so we are out their everyday with our rig and truck thats why we get asked sooooo many times. What really shocks them is when I tell them I gross at 23500 lbs and its a 8 year old truck plus when we go fishing in the mountains of CO we pull a boat behind the trailer 
.
Some day I will have a 3V but my old 2V just runs to good to give up just yet.

When I get asked about mileage I tell them yea it gets 30 gallons per mile.. 
.. They usually stumble and say oh I get it....Good to hear your V10 is still hauling the mail and C.O.W. (condo on wheels)

I have the same feeling! BTW a while back, i went to go test drive v-10 ex's with my buddy. We test drove 5 different v-10s. I even drove all five of them and my buddy has driven my truck beofore. He didnt get any of them and i asked why? He said that they dont accelerate like urs does. I said ok, what do u mean and he said they feel like they dont respond well to throttle imput, their slower then urs and they feel like they hesitate. I felt the same when i drove them. These trucks had significantly less miles then mine. Now every time i drive my v-10 i feel like i have a special one and get BSEG no matter what. I guess thats what happens when u take care of a v-10 and let her rev every so often. They keep askin for more! No matter what time of day or the weather is. She always runs like a raped ape, even when towin and never has a bad day
. Do you guys have the same feelin?
