Triton v10 vs. The powerstroke diesel.



The Ford Powerstroke engine is produced by International - a world class diesel engine manufacturer. International produces medium to heavy trucks (semis) as well as heavy duty diesel engines to power these big trucks. So, there's a wealth of heavy duty diesel knowledge and experience that goes into the Ford Powerstroke diesel engine. Now, if gasoline is your preferred fuel, then the Triton V10 cranks out some impressive horsepower and torque numbers that are nearly comparable to a diesel engine. The Triton 6.8L V10 gas engine is basically a Triton 5.4L V8 engine with 2 more cylinders added. Equipped with 3 valves per cylinder and an advanced tuned air management system, the massive V10 cranks out 362 HP and 457 ft-lbs of torque - making it the most powerful gas engine offered in a full size truck!

Allthough the diesel offers better mileage the V10 can pull just as much and is $6,500 cheaper than the price of a truck with the diesel.
