The V-10 has a good reputation. Friends have pick-ups one uses it for personal use and has 275K miles trouble free and the other uses his for work and went 475K before a cylinder went out. He actually drove it with a bad cylinder for awhile then bought a crate motor. A good motor paired with a decent transmission in these Fords. BTW both friends use Mobil 1 in there's ,i do also.
