Specification
The Ford Triton V10 is a 6.8-liter, naturally aspirated gasoline engine with a 90-degree V-10 layout, developed for heavy-duty performance in trucks, vans, and motorhomes. It uses a cast-iron block for strength and durability, paired with aluminum cylinder heads to reduce weight and improve heat dissipation, and features a SOHC valvetrain with either 2-valve or later 3-valve-per-cylinder configurations depending on the model year. The engine is equipped with electronic multi-port fuel injection, coil-on-plug ignition, and a compression ratio of around 9.2–9.5:1, allowing it to run on regular gasoline. Power output ranges from approximately 305 to 362 horsepower, while torque figures fall between 420 and 460 lb-ft, delivered at relatively low engine speeds to support towing and hauling.
Designed for reliability rather than high-revving performance, the Triton became well known for its strong low-end torque, long service life, and use in Ford Super Duty trucks, E-Series vans, and recreational vehicles. For those requiring similar heavy-duty performance with diesel capabilities, the Ford F-350 engine lineup offers Power Stroke diesel alternatives with even greater torque output for extreme towing applications.
Variants
Early 2-Valve (2V) Triton V10 – F7VE Heads (1997–1999)
The early Ford Triton V10 used 2-valve-per-cylinder SOHC cylinder heads identified by F7VE castings, which were non-Performance Improvement (non-PI) designs. These engines retained the 6.8-liter displacement with a cast-iron block, aluminum heads, and multi-port fuel injection, producing approximately 275–305 horsepower and around 410–425 lb-ft of torque depending on application. The combustion chambers were larger and airflow was more restrictive compared to later versions, and early spark-plug thread design contributed to known plug blow-out issues under high load.
3-Valve (3V) Triton V10 (2005–Present)
The 3-valve Triton introduced new 3-valve-per-cylinder SOHC heads (5C3E and 9C3E castings) with a smaller combustion chamber, improved airflow, and variable cam timing. This redesign significantly increased performance, raising output to approximately 360 horsepower and 457–460 lb-ft of torque, while also improving fuel efficiency and emissions. The 3-valve version became the standard V10 engine for Ford F-Series Super Duty trucks and E-Series vans, offering stronger low- and mid-range torque and better overall drivability for heavy-duty applications. For owners of Ford F-250 trucks seeking replacement options, our Ford F-250 engine inventory includes both Triton and Power Stroke diesel variants.
Frequently Asked Questions
What vehicles use the Triton V10 engine?
The Triton is found in 1997-present Ford F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550 Super Duty trucks, Ford E-Series vans (E-350, E-450), Ford Excursion SUVs (2000-2005), and various Class A and Class C motorhomes from manufacturers like Fleetwood, Coachmen, and Winnebago.
How reliable is the Ford Triton V10?
The Triton is generally reliable, with many units exceeding 200,000-300,000 miles in commercial and RV applications.
What is the difference between 2-valve and 3-valve Triton V10?
The 2-valve V10 (1997-2004) produces 275-305 HP and 410-425 lb-ft torque using F7VE cylinder heads.The 3-valve V10 (2005+) produces 360 HP and 457-460 lb-ft torque with improved 5C3E/9C3E heads, variable cam timing, better fuel efficiency, and resolved spark plug issues.
What are common Triton V10 problems?
Common issues include spark plug blow-out (early 2-valve models), cam phaser failure at high mileage (3-valve), exhaust manifold stud breakage, fuel injector failures, and valve cover gasket leaks.
How much does a used Triton engine cost?
Used Triton engines typically range from $2,500 to $5,500 depending on variant, mileage, and condition. Early 2-valve engines (1997-2004) cost $2,500-$4,000, while 3-valve engines (2005+) range from $2,500-$7,500 due to improved reliability and performance.
