you dont want a v10. its a bigger turd than the 318 is not to mention its not going to run as long as a deisel. unless you tow more than 10,000 lbs there really is no reason for any thing bigger than a 1/2 ton.

I'm not really sure where you heard the 318 was a turd, but you were misinformed
and 1500s are only rated to tow up to 6,000lbs max, so if you plan on towing more than 5,000 regularly you should look at a 2500, stronger transmission, stronger axels, stronger all around.
I only get about 15mpg on the highway with my 1500 with a 360 so I seriously doubt he's getting 14mpg in a 2500 v10 but maybe someone like Goldpro who has a 2500 v10 can give you a better idea.

All around the 2500 is a better bet...
I'd have one myself if they made them with a regular cab and a shortbed.
That's kind of highmileage though so don't be surprised if you have to shell out some $$$ for up and coming repairs.
