Wiki is not always 100% on target.
Read here for the facts straight from Uncle: fueleconomy.gov
"Some vehicles are exempt from these requirements:"...
"Large vehicles from 2011 onward:
Pickup trucks and cargo vans with GVWR over 8,500 pounds
Passenger vehicles, such as SUVs and passenger vans with GVWR of 10,000 or more"
There are plenty of online dealer sites to look up window stickers. Read one for a current F-250 or 550 MH chassis and you will see "FUEL ECONOMY RATINGS NOT REQUIRED ON THIS VEHICLE"
Yes, I know, motor oil threads are like religion... thankfully we can all buy the viscosity we want. :C
Read your own link. Vehicles over 8500 lbs GVW with the Ford f250 and F350 PU's are now covered. However, it looks like the V10 is no longer available in those PU's.
