From the 1997 through current are all V-8 engines in the F-150 pickups designated Triton. I had a friend tell me that some of the 4.6 liter in the 1999 model year were just a 4.6, not a 4.6 Triton.

 

They're all Tritons

 

Yes, they are Tritons.

 

Smack your friend upside the head and tell him he's a dummy.

 

why would that make you upset ?

 

I thought that the triton series started in 1998 My cousin has a 97 5.4 and nowhere does it say triton dealer told me the same thing Am i wrong

 

The '97s had Tritons. The early production '97 vehicles did not have "TRITON" under the F-150 logo on the fenders. Ford probably used the old logo until the supply was exhausted.

The engines had TRITON on their intake cowlings though.
