I love mine,put it to the test last weekend pulling my 8000lb travel trailer up many 8% grades, some being over a mile long and I had no problem doing the speed limit of 50mph,and it never skipped a beat.

You will not be disappointed in the V-10 X. Mine pulls the 8500# travel trailer with ease.

FordxFour, The Ex. also has the 4:30 LS rears so thats what Im hopping is to pull TT with ease, because the 5.4 in my Expy's have to work hard to maintain 60-65mph up steep hills, and must be hard on them.
