I have a few trailers these days. It has kinda become the tow beast. I have a 27ft enclosed car hauler goose neck style. No problem at all. Our 31ft Travel trailer is like its not there. So different than the 5.4. Really different on hills barley ever kicks out a overdrive. Real nice for pulling out the boat launch too. Gets attention thats for sure. "hows the f150 pull that big trailer so easy". I just smile and say its a Ford

can i borrow your trailer? i wanna see how well my SC 5.4 does. the boat behind me is a slight drag up one of the hills, but then im so paranoid about the 4r70 i drop od a lot. now is not the time to drop a tranny lol

 

is the mileage while towing better than with the 5.4????



and when is JMC going to swap a V-10 into his procharged 5 speed truck? that'd be an interesting ride

 

Cool thread. I would love to drive a V-10 F-150

 

Ford should make the V-10 an optional engine in the F-150!

 

A good bit better but it was basically a brand new v10 setup. Only had 20,000 on the odo.

Would need a new procharger is suspect to feed the larger displacment. I have considered it but bought a GT500 instead. Figure 600+ lbtq would break the frame .

I'd be word with a SC and 4r70 + trailer too. . Just sold the camper a few min ago. .

 

Yep i have said that since i finished it. So do people that go for a ride. Its not totaly nuts like a sports car but its just the snap it has.

 

How much harder would this be if I started with a 4.2 truck? I have a super nice 2001 w/4.2 5 speed that has a bizillion miles on it that I want to do this tooo.........what would need to be done to the fuel system ?

 

Hmmmm... Sorry not sure. I dont think it would be much different. If its 4x4 whats the tcase in the v6?? If its 2x4 it is a way simpler swap. I have never done anything or even seen an f150 with the v6 so i dont really know what the fuel system is if its different. I did nothing to the fuel system rails line right up at the firewall with the 5.4 - 6.8 swap.

2wd truck............

 

just add a larger crank pulley or smaller head pulley, the P1 should be enough for a stock V-10 to get at least 15#

 

Not only will that not happen, I hear that Ford is going to completely discontinue the V-10 and put the 6.2 in the Superdutys pretty soon.

 

I would love to get my hands on a 6.2......


.

 

Yep i hear that too. Too bad really but i guess they need to keep things fresh. 2011 or late 2010 i hear. But they do have the 6.2 in a f150. I am sure you all know the Raptor... My next "work" truck .
