Diesels have a lot more bottom end 'torque' for climbing, and the engine is in the rear, of course.
travel, enjoy ! : )

Yep, getting everything weighed is paramount because I don't want to be doing any "guessing".
I forgot to mention in the original post, I physically checked the hitch when I bought the MH and the hitch is rated for 8,000 lbs. and the MH towing capacity is 8,000 lbs. according to the specs.
My biggest concern is the towed weight of the truck slowing the MH down terribly on steep grades. I'm okay with crawling up if that's what it takes but I'm hoping the V10 will handle it okay. Thanks for the reply!
