For a second I was thinking it was a Subaru Forester. (I have four) Who makes it? Does it have a V-10? I have a V-10 in my E350, and what an engine! 145000 miles and still drives flawlessly. I use it to tow an 8500 lb TT and a 10000 Regal boat.

The owners manual suggests a tune up at 100,000 miles, which I did. I used all Motorcraft OEM parts and believe me, it was worth it. That V-10 runs so smooth that when I'm stopped at a light it's so quiet that I feel as if the engine died on me. 90% of the time my V-10 is not pulling weight, so the V-10 is overkill. Therefore I don't use it that much due to the gas mileage (I average 12 - 15 mpg. I did get 21 mpg one time on a trip from Winnemucca to Reno. I had a nice tail wind, lol. (and I wasn't towing)

Im, ej says he has a 2081qs gts and you say you have a 2801QSF. Can I assume the first two digits indicate the length of the unit? But his 2081 looks longer than a 20 footer. Or do I have it all wrong?
