The V10 has plenty of power and torque for towing. Gas mileage won't be great because it is 488 cubic inches. They do tend to have intake gasket problems at the coolant passage at either end of the head between the intake and head. I prefer a Cummins but if the deal was right, I could live with the V10. I almost forgot, be VERY careful using the overdrive when towing as that is the proverbial weak link. A manual transmission would be a better choice.
