I have been reading the forum for 5 months now. I took ya'lls advice and bought a V10 EX to pull the travel trailer. We went for Chicago to Tennessee 590 miles each way. WOW was that fun ! I love that V10.

Welcome to the board, feel free to ask any questions! We were all newbies at one time or another. Lots of good info avalable that has already been discussed so make yourself familier with the search engine, it'll save you a lot of time.

Time for you to find your inner BSEG, lol.

Waltersboys, Good on you brother. I never met a V10 guy I did not like.
Your big EX is the finest vehicle in it's class and you have the finest gas engine ever made. Long Live Ford.

Nice job! You've only got the best SUV and engine combo ever made! Hope you enjoy it as much as I have my F250 V10!

The truck and engine never let me down and I doubt your's will either!

Hello all, I am new to this site and this is my first post. I just bought a 1999 F-250 Superduty crew cab long box with the V10 and 54300 miles on it for $14900. It looks like it has been very well maintained and runs and drives great. I bought it to tow my 28' Desert Fox toy hauler that weighs about 12000 fully loaded. I am hoping this truck will pull it much better then the GMC I had with the 6 liter V8 did. The GMC spent a lot of time in second gear and only got about 6 mpg. After reading many posts in here it sounds like I should have bought a newer truck but I felt like I was getting a great deal on this one. Do you think the 2v V10 will do the job for me? I don't know what gears it has but it does have an automatic trans.
