What would the point be of having a V10 in the F-150? It weighs more then the 5.4, and still only puts out 362HP and 457 ft-lbs, and sucks down fuel, while you have 5.7L V8s putting out 380HP and 404 ft-lbs of torque that can actually manage somewhat respectable mileage

 

Thanks.

I'd heard or read somewhere GM was finally going to offer the Denaly 6.2 acrost the bored.

403Hp and 420(?) torq.

 

That would be interesting, hopefully Ford's 6.2 can meet or beat GM's, and put it across the board.

 

hooking up trucks proves nothing except who has the most traction at the moment.

i have seen videos where a little bronco 2 yanked a full size dodge around.

besides his tundra is a 4wd and my 250 ia a 2wd.


I want a new Ford but I want it to at least run like a new toyoda.

If someone else doesn;t care and wants more mpg I respect that but don't shove there values down my throat.

I just want Ford to give us the choice.

 

thats my wish too (just add toyoda to that butt kicking list)

 

I like the way u think.

 

I'd be there in a heartbeat!

head to the superduty forums and check out the mileage. the mileage difference is minimal between the two around town, and the V10 gets considerably better mileage while towing; it doesn't have to work nearly as hard. and they'd be damn near a bolt-in... and it would be an option, not everyone would have to get it, but the ones who do want it, could.

or at the very least, make a damn v10 based on the 4.6 stroke. the one off prototype in the boss 351 mustang mule was great.... I'm sure they could come up with a truck version easily.

Amen. and while we're on that subject, where's my 4.30 gears option?? that costs NOTHING extra for ford. they're differnt gears, they don't cost anything different to make a different ratio...

 

My understanding is that EVERY engine combonation has to be EPA certified.

So the 4.30's would have to be tested $$$$ and then the CAFE would be effected by a few less MPG.


I cou;d see 4.30's or even lower with a double OD I think thts what the tundra does.

 

a few less mpg?? hardly. most people notice better mpg around town and slightly less on the hwy when they up the gears on these trucks.

bad mpg usually comes from how hard the engine has to work, not as much from RPM. That was in the carb days that was a problem .

My mustang with 4.30s has gotten 28mpg phoenix to san diego....
