Good bye V10. What should be next?
We have had 3 Ford V10 250s and were very happy towing our big 5ers all across country. Our present 5er is 11,200 pounds empty. We just got back from the Ford dealer and will have to go with a V8 6....

No actual experience but an observation. Isn't the V-10 still available in the F-450 as an engine option, with rear axle ratio of either 4.30 or 4.88 (not sure on the numbers)? I recall reading this in a tow vehicle board on another forum. Could be wrong and maybe the F-450 is more truck than you need or want, but a thought..................
Never mind. Answered my own question by going to Ford's website and did the "build one" thing for an F-450. Wouldn't allow any powertrain modification. So I guess you can have any F-450 you want...........as long as it's a 4x4 with a diesel under the hood and a 4.30 rear axle ratio...............:E with a suggested price starting at over $50K! :E
