Towing at the limit and towing effectively....
I believe the V-10 and Diesel can both do that. We could argue the fine points until everybody is blue in the face and never come to a solid conclusion.
I bought what I could afford and what I felt was the best option for towing heavy at the time. Was I right?? I'll let ya'll know in 300K....
So.... can we just let it go now Gents?

let's revisit his original question, "can a v10 handle his trailer" sure, but I recommended a diesel. and all of a sudden you v10 owners got your panties in bunch. sounds like I'm not allowed to have a different opinion

Now I might wear "panties" (I am a V10 owner after all) but I can count. You still have not given ONE reason not to buy the 2005 V10 purposed by the OP and get a diesel.

You know, one thing I would like to hear from the OP is the GVWR of his 38' toy hauler. That will pretty much end this whole debate. Everything else I've read here is pretty much useless without knowing what exactly he is towing.

jmpoop: You said the truck was a Super Duty but is it a F250, F350, F450, F550?
Considering it's 16000 lbs toy hauler (7258 kg) you may be over GCWR of an F250, F350 depending on the weight of the truck, gear/stuff and people you plan on putting in it.
