Yeah, but it's a very good hauling machine. With 360 HP and 460 ft/lb
of torque, it'll move stuff. You just don't get that for free if you
have to go gas instead of diesel.

Ford's V10 is one of the few gasoline engines that has the torque
ratings of some similar sized diesels. It's too bad it developed a
reputation for spitting out spark plugs.

I didn't know that.

The question then becomes does the increased gasoline cost and spark
plug remediation cost more or less than the cost of the vehicle with a
diesel engine?
