Actually, with the newer V-10's and the Torqueshift tranny, there is very little drop-off of power as compared to a new diesel with all of their EPA crap. I have run up against new Chevy, Dodge and Ford STOCK diesels and have either embarrassed them or kept right up with them in high altitude situations. Even while hauling heavy; I have a 16 ft. covered trailer that I max out, this V-10 hauls it with no problems. It doesn'r even grunt. Again, I say even again, there are more V-10's in Class A and Class C RV's than any other engine. Reason is, the V-10 can take it, and is reliable, and does a decent job, that's why.
