It's gonna depend on what kind of truck and size of the engine you're looking for. The 5.4L puts out roughly 260-300HP and 350-365 ft lbs torque. 6.8L 2V is putting out 305hp/420tq, 3V is 362/457. 4.6L 248 hp and 294 lb·ft My V10 6.8L Excurion gets around 12-13 MPG, not modded it's fully stock, could probably hit 14 or 15 with a tuner and some mods, which are to come. Gas mileage isn't going to be too good, so expect that, newer trucks probably hit better numbers.

Try to get as close to 2002-and-up as you can if you want a V10. More spark plug threads.

For mileage, look in the MPG polls in the TECH thread at the top of this forum.
