V10 Replacement

Are they doing away with the V10 now that they came out with the new 6.4 litre engine? They say it puts out as much HP & Torque as the V10 does?

Yes, in the pickups this year, but check the size. It is a 6.2L

No. The V10 is here to stay, at least another year. It is gone in the pickups though. I have a 2011 F550 V10 on order. It is still available in the E series vans. Next year it will be sold in the F650/750 too.

I was thinking that it would be available in the big trucks and motorhomes, so why not make it an option for the superduty as well? I love my V10 with 4:30 gears, it pulls as well as any diesel I have owned and I have had them all Cumming ,Duramax, Powerstroke everyone gave me trouble and stranded me one time or another !!! I'm done with diesels not to mention the added exspence.
