I recently purchased a sweet 02 Ford F350 Dually with the 6.8L V10 engine. It had less than 60,000 miles and drove like new. I will use it to tow a 30-36' fifth wheel trailer.<br>
Today I looked at purchasing an extended warranty on the truck but was told the V10 has inherent problems that cause issues very expensive to fix.<br>
<br>
Please let me know (1) if you use this vehicle setup and (2) if you have had any trouble with the vehicle.

I recently purchased an 02 with this engine. It is a dually but I don't think the mileage difference would be significant. I get about 10 mpg around town and when I am not towing, 12 on highway. Drops to 9.5 when towing a 34' fifth wheel with GVWR of 9200 lbs.
Good thing I didn't buy it for mileage!
