do you know when they started using the ZF8 gearbox on the V8 5.0?


D4 V8 are all with a 6 speed gearbox. The SCV6 are all with a 8 speed.

Mayday from South Africa, I previously owned a D3 2008 HSE so 2.7 diesel in Scotland, I am fortunate enough to be looking at the second hand market in South Africa where V8 5.0 are abundant. I've driven 10 this week 3 V8 and 7 V6.
Vote please........
The V8 drives like a dream and is soooo quiet, but the V6 3.0 is the sensible option, or is it?

AAAArgh.................pricing is the same..........by year, mileage higher slightly on the V8's,
200k kms on the V6's, 250K kms on the V8's......

Then SWMBO wants white out and beige in FF*, I'm a builder woman, not a magician Wink

TIA.

Always V8 for me Very Happy
