What makes you think a 6.8 V10 works less hard than a 7.3 V8? You would rather have the smaller engine?
My 7.3 will yank my trailer as fast as I want the fuel gauge to go down. Trailer is 10,300 empty. Usually is around 12k or more when towing.
A buddy and I both bought new trucks in 2018.
He got a 2wd Tacoma
I got a 4wd Ram 2500.
I was 38k OTD
He paid more lol and only got 2mpg better.
Oh and his paint is falling off.
SCE has almost 30 openings for residential customer service rep. 15weeks training then fully remote must be within 75miles of Irwindsle facility.
$26.55 to start.
Ford has been making the 7.3 V8 since 2020 and it is also a gas guzzler.
Pretty sure the spark plug issue on the V10 got better over the years. Early 2000’s was when it was more common.
