I read some post about V10's being built in Canada. Would being built in Canada have anything to do with Ford not pushing the sale of trucks with V10's. Like higher mfg cost, import penalties, etc. Looks like the only way to get a truck spec'd out like you want with a V10 is to order it.

 

I know that in past years some have been built in mexico but i'm not sure about the 05's

Not sure what you mean by V10s built in Canada.

The 2005 SuperDuty trucks are assembled at the KTP

Some of the stranger variations are sometimes assembeld in Mexico like the 2001 Platinum edition and I here a rumor that the Yellow Amarillo edition is made there too. Some of the commercial trucks are assembled in Mexico also.

Now we have a guy in here that works 5.4 v8 asembly in Kentucky near the KTP and he has made a post or two that gave me the impression that the V10 came from accross town.

But then wrenchtraveller may know some more specifics on the V10 motors Canadian origins

 

i thought the 5.4 plant was in canada and the v10 was on the otherside of town

 

The V10 engine is produced in Windsor at the Ford Windsor engine plant.Some 5.4s are produced there also.

 

Fredvon4 is right - 05 SuperDuty trucks are assembled at the Kentucky plant (according to that little sticker they put on my windshield anyway).

 

But the V10 engine is produced in Canada, like 4x4x4x4 said.

 

My post should have stated that I was asking only about the engine (V10) not the whole truck. So from what I see it's from the Windsor Plant that built the old 351Windsor V8. I think a large part of their production is going to the RV's and not superduty trucks.

 

I have been told that the V10 engine is built in a Ford plant in Canada and that plant is running flat out to meet the demand. As far as the V10 being produced in other plants, I do not know.
I do know that I would rather spend my money on products made by people earning a living wage as in the US and Canada. The Mexican auto plants pay their workers less than the Mexican friut pickers make when they come across to California to pick fruit on a temporary permit. This is what all the Bus drivers in Mexico tell the people on tour and I believe it to be true. Take away the buying power of the middle class and let's see how many auto plants close thier doors for good. Food for thought, Wrench.

 

Glad to hear the engines are made in Canada at least the workers are paid decent wages. Compared to Mexico or China. Buying cheap from starvation wage countries will catch up with us. I should have my new 250 with V10 in 2 or three wks.
