Wow, that's not bad at all. That paired with a 6 speed is PLENTY for doing normal stuff and then some. Obviously the guys looking to have Craftsman series race f150s won't be happy, but I don't think Ford will have any issue selling these trucks until the fully upgraded engines arrive.

 

This is I believe the 4th or 5th repost in a few days

its 310 not 320 idiots my dad has a friend who works for ford who showed the broshure to him.

 

What is this broshure you speak of?

 

Don't listen to him, he posted the same thing in two separate threads, he even called people idiots in both threads. He's just a troll, ignore him.

 

The 5.4 doesnt produce weed or sing Freebird, so why do you care??

 

Crap, it doesn't?
P.S. It's "brochure" you damn troll.

 

You realize that it says 320 and 390 running on E85

310 and 365 (same amount as now) running on regular gasonline.


I haven't seen E85 for sale, I'm not looking for it but I haven't noticed it. Also how much does E85 costs vs regular gas.

Makes me wonder if your getting the extra performance based on the "octane" of the fuel. Just my thoughts.

 

I think instead of broshure, it's sure, bro.

 

That was just a rumor.

 

Using E85 in a gasoline engine has the drawback of achieving lower fuel economy as more fuel is needed per unit air (stoichiometric fuel ratio) to run the engine in comparison with gasoline. E85 also has a lower heating value (units of energy per unit mass) than gasoline leading to a reduction in power output in a gasoline engine. E85 consumes more fuel in flex fuel type vehicles when the vehicle uses the same fuel/air mixture and compression for both E85 and gasoline because of its lower stoichiometric fuel ratio and lower heating value.
While E85 does has a higher octane rating, in a flex fuel vehicle you really can't take advantage of the higher compression capabilities because when it's run on gasoline, you have now have the possibility of engine detonation.
I highly doubt the 320/390 ratings are for E85 only.

 

The ratings are for gasoline, it didn't say anything about E85 next to the numbers. Also that article was spied from a Canadian pamphlet... Isn't there even less E85 in Canada than there is in the US?

 

I am alittle confused, okay I am alot confused about the new motor. It is my understanding that they are offering the following: A 5.4-liter, 3-valve Triton V-8, A 4.6-liter, 3-valve V-8, Or a 4.6-liter, 2-valve V-8. I believe that one of the 4.6 liters has been scratched, not sure which.

I have a 2006 XLT SCrew 4x4 with the 5.4L V8. The most I ever pull is a 16ft V-nose all aluminum trailer that weighs 1625 empty and I never have over 2000 lbs in it. I only use this trailer 3-4 times a year going to antique shows out of state. Will the new 4.6V8 give me what I need when I need it?

Alot of times I feel that the 5.4 is alot more then I need for just regular trips without trailer?

Any help would be appreciated.
