The 2.7 is the fuel miser engine, not the power house. As the YM 2017 is getting closer, the light truck makers are up against having to lower the carbon footprint from 250 gCO2/mile to 163 gCO2/mile. There will be a lot of changes in the engines and the makers are trying to get a head start on it with YM 2015. As you know, you have to burn the gas to make the power. That won't compute with future engines. It's going to be fun after 2017 as the level of carbon has to be reduced 5% per year to YM 2025. Having fun yet?

FWIW, the 2.7 should make numbers close to 320HP with 350lbs torque. EPA is 18 town, 25 Hiway. I can assure you it will take some time to get accustomed to the auto stop/start crap especially in our hot Texas summers. Nothing like sitting at a long stop light while the engine is off to save a spoonful of gas while you die from no A/C. It's not an option for me. But then, I figure on rebuilding the old 2004 4.6 if it ever decides to give out. Super simple technology, no basket full of sensors to maintain, no turbos to replace, just hit the key and go. Yeah, I'm gettin old.

I dont understand the current fascination with high horsepower vehicles. Lower gear ratios and lower horsepower is the key.
