It's funny that you think a real man's truck is equipped with a V8 diesel.

That's fine. Most is in good fun, but some take it to heart and what they say is sometimes just way off.

If you look back I never really engage in the arguement of V10 vs PSD. Each has its place. I throw my 2 cents in comparing diesels from Ford, GM and Dodge.

This is a great thread!.....I just sit here and read it for the shear entertainment value!
However..........I find myself gravitating to the V-10 side for ONE reason........My neighbors on either side of me have diesels, one has a PSD, one has a Cummins.....Somedays it sounds as if I live in a truck stop!...Between the noise and the stink, I think the V-10 sounds better all the time!

When did that happen? At any rate, they were available in heavier f series trucks.

I have one of each and love both of them for different reasons. The V10 is smooth and quiet and has been super reliable. The 6.0 is a towing machine.

Made the announcement June of last year that they will not produce an EPA 2010 engine, and that they were leaving the on-highway engine business.

Actually when I had my hot shot that is exactly what I did with my F350 w/3.73's. Registered for 42k gvw, most of the time ran around 30k. 3000 miles a week and the psd never missed a beat. After 120k miles I ended up moving up to a medium duty so I could up my gvw to 50k, but regretted it. Should kept running the psd or moved to a big truck and gone for 80k gvw.

I would really like to see how a V10 would hold up hauling like that?

So why did Ford with there all new 08 F 450 King Ranch ONLY give you the option of the 6.4 DIESEL. Why because they figure you towing a lot and want to give you the best combo. They don't even offer the V 10
