This motor had the cooling and the oiling to stay wound up while loaded and pull any hill you wanted. As long as there was a gas station at the top of every grade you were good to go.
I was a Chevy man for 30 years. My wife found a good deal on a 2001 F250 XLT Super Duty 4X4 with 136K miles for 29th wedding anniversary present. That V!0 is a really strong motor. Good to know it can haul up a long 6% grade. I have a 29ft 5th wheel camper and I have as yet to haul it anywhere. Anyway, good video and thanks for posting it.
For those not familiar with where he is towing, it's in Utah on I-80 coming out of Salt Lake City and heading up Park City. Parley's Summit is a steep mountain pass, probably the steepest in the whole state. My Ram Hemi pulling my old boat would run up it in 2nd gear and barely hold 50-55 mph. It's no joke. The only pass I've pulled that is tougher is probably in Colorado by the Eisenhower Tunnel on I-70 outside of Denver. Coming down these passes you will definitely heat up your brakes.
Parleys summit is no joke. I drove a 35 year old Dodge class A RV cross country twice and this climb was the hardest one. We pulled it in 2nd gear at ~35 mph. I think we kicked down into 1st at a couple spots.
@@sdvten you climb from 4200 ft in SLC to 7,120 ft going up this canyon. 3000 ft gain in elevation on a steep grade. Going up is a struggle for most cars and especially if you're towing. Going down is scary in the winter because you have to be careful for ice and you gain speed if you aren't on the brakes. If you commute this daily you go through brake pads and rotors very quickly.
Well, great video !!! I still have my ole 92 F-350 crew with the 460-C-6 trans, it’s been a non fancy workhorse all these years, and plows snow all winter, no issues
Love both trucks so far. I have a 94' F250 supercab 460 2wd 4.10 gears with approx 140k miles I have owned for about six years and a 04' F250 crewcab v10 3.73 gears with just 61k miles that I bought a month ago. Living in Texas we don't have much of an issue with rusting, so my plan is to keep them as long as they or I will last..
I have a 2001 v10 and pull a 30 ft Coachmen around. Traveling welder here. It is nice to have a truck that Ive never had to worry about power. Only thing id like it is to have one more gear so that the highway rpms arent as high to get better gas mileage, though i got 14.9 going 73 from kansas to Arkansas (unloaded ofcourse), but the 03's had that. Got a deal I wont ever get again on mine so im very content. Nice video man
Nice video! Sweet to see the power these motors have. the most ive towed was a 7000lb load with my 4.7 05 dodge 1500 hahaha. made it 40 miles home no issue, in fact its my daily driver to this day. 212k miles on the clock and still on the original motor and trans. it was towing a 97 dodge 1500 with a blown 5.2 magnum. getting ready to rebuild the motor in that pickup!
I have a 12k# Keystone Montana Fifth Wheel. I had a 2001 F250 V10 with a top speed of 40mph up a 6% grade. The engine was screaming @5,000rpms. Now I have the same fifth wheel, but now have a 2019 F250 diesel that can hold 70mph up 6% grade with no worries...
Great motor, but damn do you pay for it in fuel. My Cummins 12v gets 24 unloaded and around 18-19 loaded. Our RV with the v10 gets around 4-8 when hauling a tow vehicle, and 9-12 unloaded. We've only ran out of gears a handful of times, it's a strong motor, but it's sure hard on the wallet.
I think of the V10 as more of a weekend warrior and "Roughly 100 miles per week". I love 12V cummins as well. People that hate each other over stuff is a bad time. They literally think it's Chevy versus Ford versus Dodge. Everyone has a "Buddy" with more power, better exhaust, faster...fuck all that shit. I am a work truck type a truck guy and in my opinion, Ford and Dodge is right there. The Super Duty with V10 is damn heavy as well.
@BL Dontmatter I've always wanted to put a V-10 into 1st Gen Expedition. I've had 2 5.4 2-valve and both exceeded 265,000. I bought another one with 4.6, but it was kind of in foul shape. I felt rotten selling it, but for the following 18 months or so I still kept seeing it. But, a V-10 in something lighter than a Super Duty would seem even more Tqy. Same transmission as well. I'm 100% sure it's been done before. I would easily buy another 5.4 as long as it's not the 3 valve versions.
I have the same truck on 35sw/ lockers gears, built 4r100, exhaust, intake and tuner and drive thru the backcountry of interior AK then back home over similar grades year-round from 80° down to -40° w/ up to 3ft drifts weekly with the same ease! "BUILT FORD TOUGH "
Take that anyday to weak fake fuel economy new crap. Name one new suv that can properly pull a good size boat or trailer. I see alot of idiots pulling with small suvs. Watch boat launch fails.
That V/10 was a good motor as well, 6.8 duel overhead cam as you know, I think that's a 4R 100 automatic transmission, 4 speed. That pushrod big block the other day has 10 speed, I think today, big gas engines are good option, I have 2007 Mopar duel , first year for 6.7 cummins, 6 speed automatic chrysler trans. The truck has slot small problems, I bought it new, by the way, my engine could cost 17-20,000 to replace if needed, service intervals are same as gas, 16 qts. oil, if you don't pull over 11000lb. Don't get it
Depends on where you live and hills/terrain and distance you will be pulling. Know this comment is 3 years old but figured it may put some thoughts in newer readers with similar concern.
When I bought it in 2016 it was the best truck I could buy for $10k. Compared to Chevy, Dodge, and GMC trucks from that era, it is the best, in my opinion. It has a bigger cab, longer bed, and higher towing capacity. And it’s a bullet proof V10. It’s been reliable. It’s slow and thirsty, but gets the job done. What I save with a cheap car payment I make up for at the pump. 😂
Dude Manbro not sure if you’re still looking at a V10 but I bought mine for $2500 with 240k miles. Have 256k now and it’s hands down one of the best engines I’ve gotten in a truck. You can’t kill these
I have a 2V V10 F-450,with almost 390,000 Miles.I can go 12,000-15,000 lbs with little to no issue if I want too,the truck has 4.56 Gears also.They are serious gas gusslers but awesome engines,the 2V 6.8L is about 325 HP/425 TQ.The later variations of the Super Duty that came with the 3V 6.8L have 362 HP/457 TQ.The Tritons are slow for the most part,and can have their exposed weakness if you abuse the hell out of them,espiecally with Spark Plugs or Head Gaskets,they also stay healthy if you only run Synthetic Oil in them too.On older trucks,some times even the Intake Manifolds or Exhaust Manifold Studs will need to be replaced,when it comes to reliability.
I totally agree . Gutless. 2000 v10 gas and even on a simple slope it screams at pedal to the medal on floor . My aluminum trailer with 2 horses . I do not trust it enough to go on certain ride up a hill . Shit other 1/ 2 to trucks with 5.7 liter pull better
paradiseslates yes. I live at 4,500 feet, but I have to climb a mountain every time I want to go somewhere. I'm probably pulling most the time between 5,500 and 6,000 feet elevation.
Impressive! I have been wanting a v10 Ford but everyone says they v10 is the least reliable engine along with the 6.0 is that true? It seemd to do that climb no problem and I never heard any weird unhappy engine sounds
Not so funny thing is the people that got trailers behind their new Silverado, f150 etc and they still hog the left lane and when you get behind them they try to go even faster. Now it's either their ego or habit that they just don't wanna leave the left lane, I can't decide.
Second gear. I just bought an SCT tuner from Five Start Tuning. I'll be pulling this hill with the same load in June. I'll be posting another video. Stay tuned.
Oil pressure is fine, temperature is fine, speed is too high! In the gear shift in the end of the handle is rotten that's the button you press when your climbing a mountain especially if you're towing something. It will shift down at the same time increase the RPMs but you must slow down that's just the way it is!! Nothing wrong with the motor transmission and rear end the problem is the driver.
What problem are you talking about? The truck performed the way it was supposed in those conditions. The button at the end of the shifter is the overdrive button. The truck was in second gear throughout the entire video, so pushing the button wouldn’t have made a difference.
Daniel Smyth, you obviously don’t know really anything about vehicles or more specifically towing with them. Although important in the “general operation” of an engine and ALSO IMPORTANT when towing something, the oil pressure and coolant or engine temperature have nothing to do with performance when towing something. Your comment about “speed is too high” doesn’t make any sense. If you can tow something 100 or 140 mph, then so be it. (Although I’m not suggesting to do this). You’re simply oblivious and ignorant to the fact that these model of vehicles only have a 4 speed transmission (as opposed to the newer models with 6 and 8 speed transmissions) and as such, anyone with any knowledge or experience with towing would know that this vehicle was towing just fine and was in the correct gear which was 2nd as the driver mentioned. You don’t need to press the button at the end of the shifter to tow something. The vehicle will shift in and out of 3rd or overdrive as needed regardless of if the overdrive on/off button at the end of the shift handle has been pressed or not. All that does is just ensure that the vehicle will not “search” for overdrive (constantly going in and out of overdrive and eventually cause transmission issues) if you’re towing something lighter or are on a more flat length of road or have no wind and so on. In the right scenarios or road and weather conditions, you could haul a very heavy load and have the transmission constantly doing this “searching” situation (especially if the cruise is set at usually around 55 to 65 depending on load) and it would eventually lead to transmission failure. He was simply at full throttle (which is totally fine for a vehicle if it’s maintained and setup properly) and trying to get up a hill with something pulled behind his vehicle. He was doing everything right. I could go on but I will just leave it at that for now. Please don’t comment when you don’t know what you’re talking about and do some research online.
Thank you for your detailed reply it was very informative. You're right in that I'm not used to the modern technology, my Mountain driving has been limited to stick shift and smaller engines nevertheless a heavy load and higher speed stability is critical. Kitchen and oil slick or an ice patch, even a boat falling off of a vehicle ahead of you could cause serious if not fatal damage. Running at Full Throttle of a mountain I would never do it no matter what Ray guy was driving. Not only waste fuel Dad's stress to the entire Drive Line. I've been driving since I was 14 and I'm 70 now so don't take an attitude. I guess that's what it took to get a good answer though. Thank you.
@@eldridge201 I also thank you for the detailed response. There is so much misinformation on the internet, but your response was spot on. I hope more people read your comment and learn from it.
@@SiMahDan if he was driving recklessly, that would be different. He wasn't tailgating somebody so he wouldn't have time to respond "if" something like an accident happened. You're bringing up things that are irrelevant. You comment as if the person driving in this video doesn't know how to tow or drive. They do. You don't know what you're talking about. Please stop.
4.10 gearing works even better. It pulls our 6500 lb camper real well. I think the ideal combination for V10 in F250/350 would be 4.30s with the six speed transmission.
This motor had the cooling and the oiling to stay wound up while loaded and pull any hill you wanted. As long as there was a gas station at the top of every grade you were good to go.
Yeah same with my 7.5 it is good as long as there is a gas station around the corner

What gear ratio are you running and tire size? Thanks
PUTREFIED 666 3.73 rear end. Stock size tires.
4.10 gearing works even better. It pulls our 6500 lb camper real well. I think the ideal combination for V10 in F250/350 would be 4.30s with the six speed transmission.
@@bricknboxer I have a 2V 6.8L F-450,with the 4R100 and 4.56 Gears,it does the job very easily.

Psssh I didn't see shit ...
Spaceballs??
Take the overdrive off
The truck went into 2nd gear on its own. What would manually turning off overdrive have changed?
@@themaritimegirl true..Turning OD off only locks the transmission out of fourth gear. Truck will gear between 1,2 and 3 as needed.
I have one too in a Dually 👍🏽
Lionel I am I just got one too with the v10 how would you say it is at pulling anything 12000lb or more
