It will be interesting to see the torque and hp curves on this engine. As others have said, it is absolutely being designed for towing and heavy load hauling at a lower tech level (read less expensive while likely more reliable). The two valve design helps with tuning torque for a lower rpm. The 6.2 is a two valve also. My 2004 two valve 5.4 (modular, overhead cam) has a torque peak at 2500 rpm. The sequential port fuel injection is well proven technology. Ford is moving toward adding port injection to the already direct injected engines, so just ported is less expensive. It precludes the efficiencies of direct injection, however. Ford usually puts new stuff out in a few models the first year. So, the V10 will still be here a year or two, but will be eventually replaced by the 7.3 in 650, 750, and motor home chassis.
