Vin code says engine rated a 250-300hp ?????

https://www.fleet.ford.com/maintenan...vinResults.asp

What is up with that?? I thought the 5.4 3v was rated at 300hp.

https://www.fleet.ford.com/maintenan...fs/VIN2006.pdf

When you read the vin guide it shows that the 8th postion in the vin number is the engine code. Mine is 5. In the guide it shows 250-300 and has another setion with vin position 8 as to diffrent listings 250 and 300 for the 5.4 3v. Man talk about confused...............

Or is it 250hp when you run E85?

Oh I know it is much less to the wheels, but it is werid how it has a 250 rating and 300 rating. I though all 5.4 3v were 300hp at the crank.

Well it does say 3v triton on the airbox. So I guess no worries, but I e-mailed ford about this.

I didn't know they made a 2v 5.4 still.

Then tell me why when I put in my VIN for the decoding it says it is a 2007 150 super crew with the 5.4 ffv engine and 154 hp? Here is my VIN... check it out yourself.

I ran it thats crazier then mine, section 8 on the fleet decoder chart states 5 as a 5.4l 250 hp or a 5.4l 300 hp. that 154 not even on the list.
