For crying out loud, this is an engine designed to go in their medium duty trucks to replace the aging 6.8L Triton V10 engine in use there. While it will of course be available to 'enthusiasts' in smaller trucks the reason for it to exist is to improve fuel efficiency and emissions in medium duty trucks (up to Class 5/6) and some smaller RVs, etc. Unless you'd like to stop having construction done, food and dry goods delivered, etc. they need a modern engine in that class.

Exactly. I haul 12x24' Barn Sheds on a custom trailer, 14' tall at the peak off the ground. The aging Triton V10 let me pull these monsters at 65 mph into the wind! Its hard to find a used V10 that the owner wants to sell. Fuel efficiency? Try 6 mpg when towing. Of course, the customer pays the gas - ha. To see a pic of one of those barns on a trailer, look at the FAQ page on my site: ksshedbuilder.com

Obviously, those tasks will be done by battery-powered drones soon, perhaps starting tomorrow! :) In all seriousness, I wonder why they didn't revise the SOHC modular series, perhaps it's a packaging issue? Is the Romeo foundry being used for these?

eh, it's a fairly predictable response from people who can't come up with anything better. In fact, I'm usually surprised when I don't see it. Whatever. My wife's perfectly happy with her F250 with the old 7.3L Powerstroke diesel. Maybe I'll ask her what she's compensating for :-) Gotta say, though. I'd love me one of those F150 Raptors. Yummy!
