It's the same old story you want power but you don,t like the cost Well....IF YOU WANT TO PLAY YOUR GOTTA PAY. My neighbor just purchsed a Toyota pickup with the V8 and is totally discusted with the mileage. Less than American pickups, I tried not to Laugh but could not help myself. He told me his son just picked up /08 Chev and the milage is way better than his RICER. If you find the magic milage solution please post.

My father in law has the new Tundra (traded his '05 F150 for it
). After driving it for about 10 months he says that his F150 had better mileage by about 1-2ish mpg. I told him not to but the Tundra, but now he is now looking to trade up to an '08 F250 6.4

V10 and mpg.... doesn't sound like a match to me. I'd probably faint if I got 14 with one. Not saying it wasn't possible, but I know my right foot.

There is a guy who drives past my house every night with a straight piped V10 Superduty. I live toward the edge of town where the speed limit goes from 25 to 55 mph, and of coarse the a hole hammers it and wakes up my 2 year old son. One of these days I'm gonna follow him home and do brake stands in front of his house with my Charger at 2 am. His truck is LOUD and I think that is one of the worst sounding trucks I have ever heard, not at all like a healthy V8. I would not do it.

IMO...the best sounding V10's are either all OEM stock...or with a baffled muffler like a FlowMaster 70.

thanks for the info, i have heard one v10 the sounded like fecal matter, just yesterday. I am guessing that all he did was cut off the muffler cause i did not see any tail pipes or dually's hangen out back. I am not against spending money!!! I just am looking for the rumble for BUCK. I work o hard for my money to just waste it. THE SAME AS EVERY FORD OWNER OUT THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
