My last v10 had 210 when I sold it. My dads has just shy of 300k and other than a water pump, spark plugs and intake gasket that one is untouched. Runs like new still.
Look up the million mile van. 5.4 but the engine is the same platform as the 6.8.
With proper maintance you can't kill a v10.

Just bought a 1999 F350 supercab with 204k on it, awesome maintenance records from previous owner. Ran terrible at first but I think it sat for a long time and maybe the gas was bad, I put a fresh tank of gas with a can of seafoam and it got better. Now I am on the 2nd tank of gas and another bottle of seafoam and it runs awesome.

Hello, I just got a 2000 v10 from my dad who's had it since new and it's just shy of 300,000 miles. Yup, you read that right. I can post a pic of the odometer when I get home. Doesn't leek or burn anything. Just something to do with a valve which I wrote a post to see if anybody can help me with it. But other than that, it's 100% factory and a great truck

v10

i am curious to see how the new transit engines perform compared to the v8s and v10 in a full sized van. i own a 2v 2001 e350 v10 with 200k and no problems. it purrs like a kitten. Some exhaust studs are gone but it doesnt leak. I did all maintenance when purchased about a yr ago, plugs included. Runs like a top. Tires and oil have been my latest replacement maintenance.

'08' in sig. 290K miles, new reman engine at 188K +/-. Just the normal wear and tear maintenance stuff. Been pulling 14.5K # and just a great engine/ trans combo. To bad Ford didn't carry this engine over into the Pickup with the 6 speed trans.

Mine has 121 on it now, bought it in July with 114K. Towed my 5th wheel to Florida with it a few weeks back and I expect this truck to run into the 250K mile range. I work for a Construction Co. and they have many ford trucks (none with diesels after the 6.0 nearly bankrupted them) 5.4 and v10 engines with different abusive drivers with insane idle hours seem to be lasting 225K or so. We do have 1 2000 F150 with a 5.4 it had 385K on it last time I drove it with orig engine, trans, t case and diffs.
