did he say that the horse power was in the 300s....thats a little more than my car that has a 3.8L V6...maybe I miss herd him ......twice....

@wilburfudd It's a truck, not a sports car. How much torque does your car have to plow a street?

[ShepperdW]

I think this guy is an idiot. The diesel gets enough better gas mileage to make up for the cost of diesel fuel to gas and the initial cost of one

[Carscom]

@ShepperdW You should watch the video over again. Ford says they think they can narrow the difference between gas and diesel in the F-650 application to about 10 percent (in favor of diesel). The latest national average for fuel shows diesel costing $.40 more than RUG plus you'll pay an extra $8,000 for a diesel over a gas engine at purchase time. Ford is betting states (many of which are facing budget problems) will opt for a lower-priced truck that runs on gas instead of diesel.

The steering wheel is from 1998!!!

What about doing an eco-boost make-over on that V10?

[psygtr22]

@psygtr22 The gas one doesnt put out as much horses or torque thts wat i ment

[psygtr22]

@rebelsike Yay but whoever buys this truck as a V10 then the are stupid i hate cummins but if i were to get this truck i would get the cummins in it just because it would be gas hog and it doesnt putout as much horses and torque

[atomiccheeseburger69]

@wilburfudd 363 horses

[GodFatherv12]

Ford sucks

[cumminsrkt]

am I the only one who muted this guy???

[rebelsike]

No the numbers for this engine aren't astronomical, but the engine is tuned to achieve its best numbers at a lower engine speed (rpm). The EcoBoost v-6 doesnt hit 365 hp til 5500 rpm, and 420 lbft til 3500rpm, where as the v-10 hits 362hp at 4750 rpm and 457 lbft at 2500 rpm. What that means is you dont have to run the engine as hard. Lower engine speed = less fuel use and ultimately longer engine life . The Ecoboost is a great engine, but theyre designed for different uses different purposes.

OOOOOOOOPS sounds like Ford has an overstock V-10s they need to burn through while they can still meet the current emission standards! Great marketing guys...

[LastWillandTesticle]

@Carscom You are not going to get any TORQUE from a gasser. Opt for the 6.7L Cummins instead. BTW 6.7L Powerstoke is NOT an option!

[LastWillandTesticle]

You're nuts to buy this truck w/ a V10 gutless gas pig. Opt for tha 6.7L Cummins

[BoJawadF]

How much is this monster!?
