Well Actually called Doug and wished him and his wife Nancy ,happy 50th wedding anniversary. November 2nd. He sold his Motor Home. Gonna look again after the 1st of the year. Wants a diesel pusher.
When the torque issue came up all that was mentioned was could not really notice big difference if any pulling their jeep but seemed better in the mountains on climbs. Thus Chance the new torque an asset as I see it. Yet not always required. Ford has only mentioned that the new V8 won’t rev as high as the V-10. So I looked at the torque curves and the new V8 developed torque faster at lower RPM. Nice design, more inline with their present engine lineup.
