I think both the V8 and the V10 are decent motors but Ford could do better in the power department. Ive had two V10s and have plowed/driven a variety of different model year V8s and they all seem pretty dependable. In my area one common issue is the exhaust manifold studs breaking/ rusting, etc causing many exhaust leaks. One of my V10s had this problem and it was expensive..Esp frustrating when I tried to keep my motor as salt free and clean. Power is ok and compared to the older gas motors they are much better. However when you have diesels making double the torque it doesnt seem like you could ever make a V8 of V10 powerful enough to compare. Hopefully the 6.2 will be a decent motor.
