CHEVY 6.0 V8 -vs- FORD 6.8 V10
I'm looking at the smaller Class C 21ft motorhomes on the General RV website. They have two identical motorhomes at the same price, just one a Ford, the other a Chevy. Chevy 324hp, 373 torque For...

IIRC the fords numbers are actually substantially higher, the 6.8 has been listed with 320 hp and I believe 362. Ford has reduced the RPM used for the listing causing the apparent HP loss.
Edit add;
HP changes on 6.8 through 2010

362 hp was when the engine was measured at 4500 rpm
In 2016 the spec was changed at the same time the tranny became a 6 speed.
Horsepower (SAE net@rpm) 320 @ 4000
Torque (lb.-ft. @rpm) 460 @ 3000
The only changes appear to be the rev limiter and lowering rpm to achieve different economy and emission standards.
