BTW, I didn't mean pull like muscle car pull, I was refering to towing ability. As for speed, they were beyond pathetic with their tiny amounts of HP. Hook a trailer up to an old diesel though and it would out tow its gas conterpart, at least in my families experience. The gassers could do it but were always hunting gears and revving like mad.
The last of the 460s will out pull a 7.3 PSD too, it has less TQ but more power.

. My dad had a 460; good truck but not the towing ability of his 7.3l.

"A 94-97 460 has 10HP more then a 94-97 7.3 PSD"-My dad has an '03 7.3 and had a '95 460 so that was my comparison.-for pulling I will take an advantage in torque over an advantage in horsepower.

I don't care what anyone says but I love my new 6.4L diesel over my 5.4 all day long. I will always take a diesel over a gas engine from now on. I mean a v-10 or a v-8 gas engine can't compete with a diesel mpg, power, resale value.

Those slick guys at Ford evidently knew that, and that's why they offered different models of Super Duty. Some like diesels, others like gas and yet somehow we're all happy! Who saw that coming?

I'm in the same boat. The 5.4 in my F150 (2008) used much more fuel than my 6.4 diesel.

The V10 isn't even CLOSE when it comes to resale, and if they have so much power, why are they so s-l-o-w?
