No it was not an option. My feeling is the V10 has been around forever and all the bugs are worked out. I am not in the mood to break in a new engine for Ford. Been there done that in the past and told myself never again. I think it is only like 20 more horsepower too but don't quote me on that.
By the way wife just showed me a picture of the new class C with indigo paint schene that she picked out. It's a blue/gray color scheme and I like the fact that she is happy with what she picked out. Hey she is the one paying for it, I just get to drive it :)
