I'm looking at an '01 F-150 single-cab XLT w/ a long bed and a Triton v8 engine. Did the Tritons come in different sizes and, if so, what were they?

Best regards,

The Triton V-8 comes as a 4.6L and 5.4L

 

Hello Distantkool,

I got this from an 01 brochure.

4.6L SEFI V8
Horsepower SAE net: 220 @ 4,500 rpm
Torque SAE net: 290 @ 3,250 rpm

5.4L SEFI V8
Horsepower SAE net: 260 @ 4,500 rpm
Torque SAE net: 350 @ 2,500 rpm

 

I believe this one would be the 4.6L model. Awesome. Thanks for the fast responses!

 

The V-10 is also called a Triton motor. It's a meaningless phrase, similar to Dodge's Magnum moniker or GM's Vortec powerplants. When you refer to your Triton motor, the only thing indicated is that you fell for the advertising.

 

At least other idiots like me are impressed when they see it!

 

Tim,

Just so you know. The F-150s from 97-05 have 5 different triton engines.
The 4.6l V8 and the 5.4l V8 None of the F-150 have a V10.

4.6 non PI
1997-2000 had 220 HP and 290 ft-lbs of torque
4.6 PI
2001-2005 it had 231 HP and 293 ft-lbs


5.4 non PI
1997-98 had 235 HP and 330 ft-lbs of torque
5.4 PI
1999-2003 had 260 HP and 350 ft-lbs

5.4 3 valve
2004-5 300HP and 365 ft-lbs

One thing that is just as important as the engine power is the axle ratio. If you look on the Vehicle Certification Label that is usually on the drier side door pillar under the axle heading you will see 2 numbers or a number and a letter. This is the code for the axle ratio. The following list has the most common codes.

| 18 — 3.08, non-limited slip

l 19 — 3.55, non-limited slip

l 26 — 3.73, non-limited slip

l 27 — 3.31, non-limited slip

l H9 — 3.55, limited slip

l B6 — 3.73, limited slip

Try to stay away from trucks with the 18 and 27 codes. They get great milage, for a truck, but make the truck a dog.
