Only 10 votes seperate the two at this point. Out of 204 voters, the poll is only 10 votes apart, which is a lot closer then I thought it would be.
I'm glad we've been able to get through 5 pages without any bashing, or fighting.....that's gotta be a record.

i personaly think a lot of people are going to look a few times at the v10 when pricing a psd with the prices of fuel now and the hp being so close.
brass tack's it's still a ford and we all love our super dutys. thats a for sure bet.

This really surprises me. The V-10 is waaay outnumbered on the street. I just assumed it was here too. I wonder if we have a good representation of the membership in the poll, or do the diesel guys stay in the 6.0 and 7.3 forums?

I agree I don't think that everyone voted...I read something like for every gas (5.4 and 6.8) Superduty that Ford sells, they sell 2 PSD Superduties...

I was avoiding this thread based on what I have read in past threads where competition of urination steams prevailed over common sense and decency. Nothing else really going on in the forums so I took the time to read what was going on here. I am impressed so here is my vote.
My 05 is my first ever diesel, except for diesels I use at work, and I am super duty pleased with the performance, feel, sound, towability of not just my diesel, but my entire truck. I think the new super duties are great trucks, and I am now partial to diesels base on this experience.
At work, we have a Dodge V-10 that is a dog. It cant even pull its way up a hill with the 125 gallon pump package on the back. I mean it wont even go up the hill. Just sits there and groans. I am sure Ford did a better job on their v-10 but it kind of left a sour taste when I was choosing which engine I was looking for in my new truck. I made the choice and am happy with it. I haven't tried the Ford V-10 so I cant comment on the performance on those but am impressed with the posts I have read here on FTE. Some day I will try one out. Until then, I will keep sporting that 6.0 grin.
Happy Trails FTE friends!

Sounds just like the 5.4 engine in my truck. Anyway,you can't compare a Dodge to a Ford. Look up Dodge in the dictionary, it's under junk.

I'm seeing more and more V10's on the road lately... Maybe they are getting the idea.
Or, with the higher power of the 3-valve, it's making it more attractive - especially when the cost of the motor didn't go up (that I know of, it's still $600 for the V10, right).
And another reason why we may have more V-10's on here then is statistically correct, I would not have found this site if I weren't researching the V10 before I bought one. Lots of people, I'm sure, researched the V10 before buying one, more so than the diesel or V8. Maybe?

Well, I just saw your post in the 6.0 forum, and I'm here to vote.

If I wasn't a gentlemen, this would be an easy, and very available target. But I will not be accused of bashing, it's beneath me and beneath us V-10 folks.
Not that he could hear us over the clatter of his engine anyway,,,,,,,,,,

V10 - reasons
I bought a used '99 V10 for the simple reason that it is approx $8K cheaper than the equivalent diesel version of the same truck. I refuse to pay that sort of premium for a diesel engine when my towing needs are not extraordinary.
