I want to see more TT's...can we get back on topic, lol. I came in here for two days to keep getting ideas and the thread turned to "well my 3.7L tows as awesome as a class A semi". Not directed at anyone in particular...but throw some PM's.
I just want to see some TT's.

The 5.0L has 275 lb. ft. of torque at 2700 rpm at the rear wheel which is 86% of peak and hits peak torque at 4300 rpm. The rear wheel HP at the peak torque rpm is 275.
The 5.4L has 268 lb. ft. of torque at 2700 rpm at the rear wheel which is 89% of peak and hits peak torque at 3700 rpm. The rear wheel HP at the peak torque rpm is 210.
Based on these numbers, I would expect the 5.0 to perform the same at low rpm take off as the 5.4 and better at higher rpm. Ford has always built their engines with a large %age of torque at lower rpm's. We will see.
Back to the topic, I will post pics of the new truck and camper when I get it!

Horsepower and torque numbers at the crank:
5.4 310hp @ 5000rpm's
365ft#'s @ 3500rpm's
5.0 360hp @ 5500rpm's
380ft#'s @ 4250rpm's
Reflects performance data:
5.0 0-60 unloaded 7.18 secs. Quarter mile 15.53 secs. @ 92.85 mph
5.4 0-60 unloaded 8.96 secs. Quarter mile 16.96 secs. @ 85.91 mph

How come your numbers don't match everyone elses? Are you confusing hp with torque or something?
5.0L 5.4L
1500 rpm = 275# 1500 rpm = 260# ?
2000 rpm = 302# 2000 rpm = 315#
2500 rpm = 315# 2500 rpm = 340#
3000 rpm = 327# 3000 rpm = 356#
3500 rpm = 350# 3500 rpm = 365#
4000 rpm = 362# 4000 rpm = 365#
4500 rpm = 379# 4500 rpm = 363#
5000 rpm = 356# 5000 rpm = 350#
5500 rpm = 348# 5500 rpm = 297# (Redline)
6000 rpm = 315# (Redline)
As you see the 5.4 is much better down low. Not sure about you but id rather pull at 2500rpm than 4000, but good luck to ya! Lol

LOL. Well, my numbers are from the same source as everyone else's, hence the links i posted via the interweb. I will use my experience in selling and following fords for the better part of my life and the seat of my pants impression. I will let you know if your data relates to real world data when I get my new truck broken in and tested vs the tried and true 5.4 in the 4 and 6 speed versions i have owned since 1999. In the mean time, smile because you own a Ford and take your family camping!
