Ah but the V-10's longevity is close to that--if taken care of. There are airport buses with the V-10 with several hundreds of thousands of miles on them running just fine.

Granted I'm sure there are also blown up/burnt out/etc. V-10s with only thousands or hundreds of miles on them as well (as there are Diesels too).

Our F-250 I traded it in with 138,000 miles on it. It was running great with the original spark plugs and it never broke an exhaust stud either (a common problem with the Triton engines--my F-350 broke two exhaust studs at around 50,000 miles).
