Giant Friggin Trucks: 2011 Ford F-59 Super Duty Commercial Chassis Unveiled In... Chicago?

2011 model truck chassis and a 3 valve version finally.

 

Good to see they will keep it around for heavier duty trucks. I figured if they axe the V10 in the 3/4-1 ton they would probabably have to keep the V10 around because in Class A motorhomes and E/F 450s and 550s the 6.2l won't cut the mustard.

I would just keep the modulars and up the power. Maybe a 4V V10 with an increased stroke and play with the cam profile for more power . I'm not digging the high revving 6.2l.

 

Or have the supercharged hydrogen v10 that will keep the same power.

 

The V10 already has a very long stroke (4.165).There's not much you can do as far as that goes, but there's enough bore spacing to increase the bore to 3.700. With the larger bore, there will be enough room to add direct injection and raise the compression ratio. That would be the ONLY way to get more power out of the current engine, and still keep octane requirements, NVH, fuel economy, longevity and emissions to acceptable levels.











Not gonna happen

 

After owning two V10's since Dec 97, I'm grateful it's hard to improve on the performance of this dependable inexpensive powerful beast.

Saves me money.

 

A SC V10 on Hydrogen doesn't even come close to the stock numbers of a 2V V10. At least the numbers published several years ago did not.

There is more stroke to be had with the modulars. Not a lot but some. Ford has the resources to improve th emodulars but instead they choose to come out with a new unproven engine which will probably have bugs the first year or so.

 

I thought the F53 chassis got the 3-valve in 2006?

 

Yea ,
I joined this site in 2006 and man all the "V-10 is dead rumors", And boy did I get flamed for saying the V-10 would be around for awhile . So many we sure the V-10 would be long gone.
Hear we are talking about the V-10 in a 2011 model.
