Hard to find those in the HD line these days too. Lol. Sharp truck and that motor is on pace for being the best ever made.

I have a 2013 with the 5.0
98,000 miles without a single issue. Well, some stupid coolant leak at a plastic junction, but not a big deal. Common problem and have yet to fix. Thing runs like the day I bought it and towed a 10,000lb trailer 5,000 miles across the country within the last year. I had it weighed at a scale...it was all of 10,000! Plus the bed was loaded!
I worry about the 10 speed too with shifting comes more heat. But you will always be in the power band which is good. My 6 speed sometimes gets weird getting on the highway and feels like it should down shift but won't. Extra gears would help that.
