Good write-up.

 

[Coiled03]

Bad-ass truck!

Good looking truck. So when you gonna step up and get one Travis?

Good write-up.

+1. I've driven a 2008 model, but with the 6.4L TT diesel. It really is quiet inside and VERY comfortable. Very easy to maneuver for such a big beast too.

Another advantage to the V10 is that you can make them sound like this:

Not a big fan of the exterior on this truck, not sure why, idk maybe i need to adjust to it. The interior is MUCH improved from before. I have a 2005 F-350 Powerstroke, i love the thing, im a big fan of diesel because of the ability to haul and tow anything "V-10 is good as well" but other than that, Ford makes a very good truck, i have chipped it, and put dual exhaust on it, the turbo whistles soooo loud, and power output on the "edge" chip is amazing, i jumped up 110 hp, just on the chip.

I'm shooting for this spring.

They have an exotic sound, definitely not like a V8.

Man that thing looks pretty quick and sounds good! Quicker than the 08 Stroker I test drove! Ill admit, I was skeptic, but now Im impressed.

 

[SID297]

That's also with 4.10 gears, not the optional 4.30s.

SID297 and I went out testing these vehicles in 08... we went from 250's to 350's, diesel, and then to a V10.. for my purposes..the V10 wins hands down. :rockon:

 

[SID297]

How many miles are on it now?

Do the older 03-04 V10's perform like this? I could pick up a tow rig CHEAP with a V10 in those years.

 

[Stroszek]

Gorgeous truck! And thanks for the review. I'd love to have a 3V but my '01 has been too good to me.

I doubt it. It would be down over 50hp and a gear in the tranny. The 5r110 is worth getting the 05 and up.

True I forgot about the tranny.

We used to get lifted V10s with exhaust in on trade when I worked at a dealership and we used to pull them into the bay and just rev them up for a few minutes cause the sound was so awesome with exhaust.

I really haven't heard any V8 that sounds better than the Triton V10. It's so smooth and light sounding but still has the sound of power.

 

[Ironhand]

This may be slightly off topic but does anyone have power numbers for any of the V-10s with and without a power adder? A built newer V-10 with a large whipple or a turbo would be interesting to see but I havent seen any power numbers for that combo yet,

According to Ford, stock they have 362hp and 457ft/lbs trq.

I saw the gains with a Novi 2000 and it was +120hp and +80ft/lbs at like 3k RPM.

It would be a sweet project for a Stang like those two engineers did at Ford.

Nice looking truck & writeup:beer:
