To say that the V-10 isn't for high altitude is a bunch of BS. I just towed from Layton, Utah, 3500', to Garden Valley, Idaho, also about 3500', towing maxed put with the truck loaded plus a fully loaded 18' inclosed trailer with all of our crap. I got 10.4 mpg towing(without a head wind for a change) and on every hill between Ogden and Boise, I never got off 70 mph. Going up Horseshoebend Hill, I did drop to 65, but only because of the curves. Even with the 4.10 rear, I have no problems towing as this 367 hp engine rocks especially with the tow/haul tranny.
