2018 Engine numbers released
2018 Ford F-150 and Expedition getting powertrain upgrades
Changes for the 2018 F-150 are as follows:
All engines get standard stop/start technology.
The 5.0 numbers are a bit underwhelming IMO, but it will be interesting to see the fuel economy.

The Super Duty Trucks use a different method for determining HP and Torque than the F150. If the 5.0 was in the Super Duty the numbers would be lower as well. It's kind of an industry standard to rate consumer trucks & commercial trucks differently.

Everybody always wants more, but 395 HP /400 ft.lb. is pretty impressive for a small displacement V8. The Chevy 5.3 only makes 355 HP / 383 ft.lb..

The 5.0L is the powerhouse fleet engine (vs the V6 which is used by fleets that need a truck bed, but not much power capacity). It's designed to be rugged, run hard, put away wet, and still make good power. You can't make a rugged engine if you're wringing every last ounce of power out. The F-250 6.2L is a great example of this. The fact that they have added direct injection and done upgrades shows they are committed to the platform, they are just not committing in the direction you want them to.

A few tweaks from factory and the 5.0 would obliterate the ecoboost engines ( let alone GM's offerings ), the ecoboost is/was supposed to be the future of powerful fuel efficient engines. Slight problem the 5.0 is as efficient if not more efficient.They don't want the 5.0 as the brands marquee engine.

And they could put the slightly modified raptor EB in the regular f150 but it won't happen. Your not going to get the low end torque out of the 5.0 with out forced induction, that is where the EB shines. Both are great engines and both have a different target audience.

Why would they go through the hassle with redesigning the heads for direct injection?

So you don't think ALL their advertising is geared towards the Ecoboost platform. Clearly Ford is pushing the Ecoboost. I have no direct line to FOMOCO but it's obvious they want the Ecoboost engines to outshine anything else they offer.
