I would choose the 5.0 over the eco boost. Think of the potential. But if I were getting a new truck I would get the 3.5 and swap it for a 6.2 and a stick.

Why not a 6.2?
Thinking the same thing? I guess economic reasons may play a factor.


n/a VS n/a yes the larger motor will win every time, but once you throw boost at one of 'em it makes the tables shift

Are there plans for S/C on the 6.2?

Probably not from the factory.

I think I read over on NLOC that JLP was building a blown 6.2
