Base trim/options
How is MPG between the v8 and v10? Any other reliability issues? I usually keep a car about 10yrs...

The V8 and V10 share architecture (V10 is basically just 2 more cylinders), and both are extremely well proven long lasting engines. I think the V8 is a F250 is underpowered though, but I would suggest a test drive to make your own call. MPG in a truck of that size in a gasser (V8 or V10) will be low teens regardless.
I think you would enjoy the truck considerably more with a V10, though.
