Imposible!!!

It's a V6









Can't wait to test drive that truck.

 

Nice. According to the chart, EcoBoost is also faster than the 6.2 F-150.

 

Ecoboost makes 420lbft@2500rpms, The 6.2 makes 434 but its at a higher rpm(4500).
I say its gonna pull pretty good!

 

I noticed that too.

 

We'll see over time. I own a Hemi. After months of deliberation, I opted for the Hemi in my wife's 300C over the EB in the Taurus SHO. Both have similar HP and speed numbers. But, the Hemi is proven and seems to be 'loafing' at 360 hp. It does not seem to work hard at all. Is it the fastest thing in the world, no. My 5.0 Mustang GT will leave it sitting still.

I hope the best for this engine, but I'm not going to buy into the hype until I see some long term durability in trucks.

 

The F-150 to Ram comparison is fair, but F-150 vs. a Chevy HD 2500? Not exactly apples to apples. Oh, who cares, the EcoBoost is the little engine that can!

 

Did anybody notice how strong the 3.7 was in the acceleration tests? Holy cow that is pretty strong for a base engine and could hold its own against the Gm v8's. I guess this TT6 is going to be a monster. I wonder if they did the tow tests on premium fuel?

 

The 3.7 is... GOSH, I wish I could talk about it.

We'll all grin very soon... those of you that drive it on Friday/Sat... PLEASE post. I can't talk about it until Monday.

 

I cannot even begin to imagine all of the pampers the competition must be going through right now.

Ford is knocking it out of the park on almost all fronts. And this after just pulling out of a recession.

Simply put - a stunning acheivement.

I for one am glad to see that they tested it at 10,000 lbs not some panty waist 5k lb load. I hope that the loads that we get to pull on Saturday are 10k, then I can tell real quick just how good this truck is gonna be

 

YOur right and the blue oval just keeps pouring it on. I can find little to fault them on these days and they have finally listened to consumers while at the same time taking bold steps with the turbo engines.

 

Good choice, according to this head to head the SHO is cheaper, is faster, brakes better, handles better, and gets better mileage.

The eco boost setup has been out for a while now, Ford isn't going to put a turd into their bread and butter F-150.

 

really, really impressive.
