Pres. Bush drives a V10?

Saw a interview on FOX news - Pres. Bush was being interviewed driving a Ford F350 and it looked like a V10 emblem on the truck. I guess he doesn't need a diesel either.

I recall seeing pictures of him with his F-350, but I'd thought it was a PowerStroke. Certain years of the F-350 can be had with PowerStroke V8 emblems on the fender that look a lot like the V10 emblems.

I believe those were 99' model trucks that had similar logos. I would doubt Mr. bush to drive a 9 year old truck but you never know!

There was a thread in the SD section a while back discussing this. It is a V10 gasser. Some said he was running propane in it, maybe maybe not. It raised a fuss in Germany when the Germans saw the German Prime Minister, President or whatever driving around on the farm in his V10 gasser.

To Mr. President Bush, I say GOOD FOR YOU, SIR!!! I have TWO F350 V10s, but I'm not the President. Well, I turned down the nomination. I'm too busy.And, please get those oil prices down, won't you? Thanks. One fellow American V10 owner to another.

That sure looks like a Ford V10 Lariat with a winch to me....If it were diesel it would say so on the driver door.
Check out this video.....he's a fake Cowboy

I'll give him props for driving a real American truck, toolbox, crewcab, grille guard, and all.

Like was said, if it is a 99' the V8 turbo diesel in on the fender just like the gassers.

It does look like a V10 though. The emblem looks to big to say V8.

I dont know is this good or bad. It seems like everything he touches turn to junk.

And that's all I say about that to keep it in this forum.

Doesn't the "Powerstroke V8" emblem on the 99's have a red strip or some red under the powerstroke letters.

I would have thought Bush would be riding in a 08' King Ranch with 20's, of course in Texas it may get stolen pretty quick.

If you enlarge the pic, you can see it is a gas tach.

Here is your pic. From the looks of the steering wheel (FORD EMBLEM), it is a 99-00 Superduty

I did a lot of googling and searching on this last night because I was bored. From what I found, it is supposed to be an 01 F250 V10. On his ranch, he is supposed to have a small collection of Ford pickups, an old F100, a couple 80s model F150s/F250s and this one that supposedly he ordered new.

Thanks Cougar for getting that posted.

Look at the rear bumper and tail pipe... notice there is no black soot, it's gotta be a V10.
