No wonder Ford made a billion bucks!

It is still a popular and reliable truck. That is what I see when I go to the Refrigeration supply house, a bunch of Ford vans and trucks, a few Dodge and GM. Same thing at Home Depot.

Not to many toys or Nissan's found in a construction supply house parking lots.

I like the power that the 5.4L engine makes. I don't know why they are messing with it. This newer engine I guess will replace the larger 6.8L V10? I still say there is no replacement for displacement when you need a lot of torque. But I guess that the smaller 6.8L is making more power than the 7.5L 460" engine was rated at.

Next van for our should will probably be another Ford.

Good Luck,

Fred.

Good to see them pushing the envelope. The 5.4l has been the least powerful top engine in a half ton for quite a while.

Oddly with the largest payload of any of the other 1/2 tons to boot.
