F-150 With A V10??
Why not?? They've gone to 300hp with the 5.4. Why doesn't Ford just blow the competetion away with a big block in the 150?? Were talking about another 200lbs of engine. Then offer it with taller axle ratios to keep the EPA happy.
Big Block is kind of a joke now with these modular engines. The 6.8 is the same bore and stroke as the 5.4. The engine doesn't get bigger and beefer, it just get's longer with more jugs.. Once the V10 get's it's 3 or 4 valve head treatment it's going to be one nasty mother..
If they can/could do it.... Who would order their new 150 with a V10???
I know I would...

I Say No Power Because If You Guys Get To Drive A Hemi Or A Vortec Then You Will Know Why.

If only the Nissan had a nicer interior (not as cheep looking), an electric rear winder, roll down side windows in the suicide doors and a moonroof in it's supercab, the FX4 I now own may have been a Nissan... I didn't even test drive it... why... because... Because I know I would have liked the 305hp and 379lb-ft.
Don't get me wrong, I love my ford. It is my first Ford, got it on Maych 27th and I now have a little over 10000km and I love it. But... the nissan is a nice truck too.
I read it is a tad faster than the Dodge and way better on mileage than any of the other 3.
Anyway... maybe in 10 years...

I don't need a 'go fast' truck myself... 75mpg at 2000rpm works for me. But... hp and torque... that's what I like.
I don't mind spinning the rear end either... but again... that's torque. and hp...

V10...in my F150?...I would have ordered that option in a heartbeat!
I enjoyed the V10 in my S/D but it would really be something in my 150. Although I like 14.2mpg better than 9mpg
