Triton 6.8 V10 decent engines?

[Moonshine]

OK, who's got history with the Ford V10? What was your experience? Good motors? Trouble spots? Economy? Other comments? From perusing the web it looks like the '00-'04's were prone to spit plugs just like our L motors did, but everything I'm finding indicates that since '05 they've been pretty good engines, if a bit thirsty.

Definitely thirsty! Mine was a 00', i never spit any plugs in the 200,000 miles i put on it. I pulled a 30' toy-hauler every other weekend to motorcycle races in BFE. Only thing i hated was the gas pump. Did notice that no matter what exhaust i heard they all sounded weird. Almost like a mustang underwater. Definitely loved my truck though. Just loved my 7.3 more. :D

buddy at work had one and he said the gas mileage really sucked. no complaints otherwise.
