I just want to see some TT's.

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!

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

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!
