Dude you're missing the biggest thing here. It is on the internet, IT MUST BE TRUE

 

Just wait until it comes out. What the hell are y'all pulling around with your trucks anyway? Who needs all this power? Get a bigger truck... that's what they're made for.

4.6, 5.4, 5.7, 6.2, blah blah. Who cares? I don't.

 

Hahaha... I remember when the only engine in the F150 was the I6... either take it or leave it.

 

thank you

i have never seen so many people bitch about something that is speculation

its ****in edmunds......they get a whole lot of **** wrong about speculating about upcoming models, like i said, 2011 is when the twin turbo 6.2L is coming out, the regular 6.2L(which will still be powerful) will come much earlier than that

god damn

 

you guys sure are getting your panties in a wad. wait for the facts. i am sure everything will work out fine.

 

Nah...just get a Super Duty. You don't know what you're missing. I am pushing over 350 HP and over 700 lb-ft of torque at the rear wheels with nothing more than a tuner.

 

Nope, can't afford F1-250 w/Diesel option. Not now anyway.

Seen this somewhere...
ALMOST DEFINITIVE ENGINE INFORMATION!!

The truck will launch in 2008 with:
4V DOHC 3.7l V6 - Port Fuel Injected (i.e. non-Direct injected)(about 280 ft.lbf at 2000 rpm) (not sure about transmission)
3V SOHC 4.6l V8 with 6speed auto (Explorer combo - 292 hp and 300 lb.-ft)
3V SOHC 5.4l 6speed auto (Expedition combo - 300 hp and 365 lb.-ft ) - it is very likely Ford Re-wroked this engine for increased power and torque so the numbers are likely to go up.
NO BOSS ENGINES

2009 1/2 Model (Februaury 2009) will add:
2V SOHC 6.2l V8 BOSS engine with 6speed auto (about 400hp)

2010 Model (fall 2009) will add:
DOHC 4.4l Common Rail Diesel with CGI block (315hp and 520 lb-ft)
4V DOHC 3.5l V6 - Twin Turbocharged Direct injected (Twin Force - 350hp, 380 lb-ft at 2000 rpm)

2011 or 2012 model will add:
4V DOHC 6.2l V8 - Twin independent variable cam timing, twin turbocharged, direct injected (Twin Force - over 650 lb - ft)

 

I'll tell ya... after about 2 years, I should be sitting pretty. I am going SD with the 6.4 PS. No ifs, ands, or buts...

 

Once again, We dont care.

 

Just to point out the alleged accuracy of the article, did you guys not see this quote? "A gasoline V6 isn't expected until model-year 2010."

Uhm, edmunds.com, look up the 2005 F-150.

 

I'm pretty sure they're trying to say there wont be a V6 for the new model until 2010.

 

It wasn't worded really well was it?

I just assume Ford wouldn't drop the V6 out of a "freshening up" of the F150. Who knows...Who cares? It's the V6

 

Yeah who the hell wants that POS engine.

 

I do... cause I want a really sloowwww F150.

Proud to be doin' 20.5 mpg combined city and highway on a 1/2 ton!

While I'm gettin' my butt whooped by the friendly 5.4's... I'm savin' $$$$ at the pump....

Besides..... who DOES want a v6 F150? Not many... but us who have them feel kind of special. lol

Actually... if Ford did things right, they'd just turbo or supercharge the 4.2l. As you can get the same numbers from a F/I v6 then you get with the N/A 5.4l and saving lots of $$$ at the pump too. We all know in order for Ford to think of something THAT bright (hence instead of spending a bunch of time building an entire engine) they would need to hire some new engineers. LOL

Now, I'm not knocking Ford... I'm just saying, they've got enough engines they can use to output some crazy #'s without spending $$$$ and more $$$$$ and more time... infact, they could work on them to be BETTER BUILT.

Like For example, the supercharged 5.4l v8 say out of the HD. Why don't they make that just an option in all models, XL, XLT, Lariet, etc. That's got the numbers needed to succeed. And look, Ford doesn't need a whole new team of engineers to create a NEW engine.

Besides, Ford could make some damn good engines if they put their minds to it... rather than being in a rush to create something new with it's own set of problems.

Like getting rid of 7.3l PS and introducing the 6.0l PS way back when. All Ford had to do was implement what was done on the 6.0l PS to the 7.3l PS and refine it even more. But they just decided to make a whole new engine, the 6.0l PS that had a ton of problems. Why Ford? Why?! Just why do you plague the customers with this garbage?! Why?

Getting back to the 4.2l v6, if you noticed Ford made a VERY good move on this engine. They REFINED IT. They changed out the cast iron heads and dropped in aluminum heads. Mind you, cast iron heads are cheaper that aluminum heads. What difference did that make? Well it made about 5 to 8 ft/lbs of added torque... did it add much? No... but it made some improvement. But if Ford just got their act together, they could be making some really nice trucks for the same price of not cheaper.

 

You can be proud of the 20.5 mpg, then i have to be extremely proud of getting 19.93 mpg according to last fillup
