Sources Say 3.7-Liter V-6 Coming for Ford F-150 - PickupTrucks.com
But looking at other sites: 305hp, 285 ft/lb Tq. Upgrade:. 0L 'Coyote' V8 @ ___ hp, ___ ft/lb Tq. Premium:. 5L 'EcoBoost' DI TT V6 @ 400 hp, 400 ft/lb Tq. Exclusive (Raptor, ___ , ___). 6. 2L 'Boss' V8 @ 411 hp, 434 ft/lb Tq. BTW, this stmt:. 5-liter V-6 twin-turbo gasoline direct-injection EcoBoost engine promises to deliver the performance of a V-8 with the fuel efficiency of a V-6, and is expected to cost more than previous V-6 engines in the F-150 lineup". I think they're going to make only the F-100 and possibly make a smaller vehicle using a unibody platform of some kind. I like the 3. 7 liter V6, but judging by the mileage of the engine's related 3. 5L cousins I wonder whether it'll get any better than 16/23. It's an improvement but I'm hoping the F-100 will get better mileage than that. Folks, we aren't going to see those light duty diesels in the half ton trucks, as much as the market is asking for them. The new emissions regulations have added big costs to the bottom line of diesel motors, ands have badly hurt their fuel economy. Automakers would have to publish official fuel economy numbers for light duty vehicles like half tons, and they are collectively loath to kill the golden goose, which is expensive diesel crewcab pickups. None of these automakers want the public to clue into how much the new emissions standerds have hurt big diesels fuel efficiency. Source: news.pickuptrucks.com
