Yeah! Nice!! Bein' a V10 pard I like the following quotes:

As we expected, the 6.2-liter V-8 felt much stronger than the old 5.4-liter V-8, but we're still big fans of the diesel-like performance of the 6.8-liter gas V-10 that continues only in the Super Duty Chassis Cab trucks for 2011.

6.2-liter throttle response is good with a trailer, but it's not the old 6.8L V-10 gas engine that's still available with the DRW cab and chassis but only with last years five-speed 5R110 automatic transmission.

6.2-liter V-8 gasoline engine doesn't feel as powerful as the old 6.8-liter V-10

As we crawled up, down and around steep grades, we also appreciated the new 4-inch productivity screen (again) that displayed the truck's pitch and yaw angle in degrees. It's a system that Ford borrowed from Land Rover.
yup the screen is in 2010 LR4 and 2010 Sport, I dont know that we have all the yaw and pitch angle stuff in ours, but the screen is the same one from the 10MY LR4 and RRS models

Maybe they will add two more cylinders to the 6.2L and make a 7.8L!

Nah - the days of big gas motors in trucks like these is over. I see the 6.2L possible being improved, but thats about it.
