[QUOTE="DLD, post: 1139691, member: 19707"] I can buy a lot of gas for the difference in what a V10 will cost and either a comparable model/condition used diesel or even brand new gas truck will cost. Hillbilly beef man, they're not easy to find here either. I'd be willing to travel some for the right one when the time comes, just have to see what we can find. A 5.4 would be my next choice, too. Fitz, my father in law has an '04 F250 with a 5.4 and a 6 speed manual, and he pulls a 24'x6'8" stock trailer, and doesn't mind loading it up. I've run with him with my 6.0 diesel and the same trailer and load, and he can run 65 up and down any hills in this part of the country, which is plenty with a load of cattle, IMO. Those manual transmissions are hard to find too, though. I've had a couple of 5.4's with automatics and they pulled their share, too. Nothing wrong with 'em in my book. [/QUOTE]
