I think there's a segment of the buying public that wants a NA V8, and Ford doesn't want to send all those buyers elsewhere. I suspect they'll keep some version of this engine around for as long as possible.

I said awhile back that Toyota or Ford will be the first to drop the V8 in the 1/2 ton and Toyota started the ball rolling.
Out of all of the 1/2 ton brands, Ford is in the best position to drop the NA V8.

True but, times are changing and the EB engines far outsell the 5.0 and I for one will be sad when it’s dropped.

I guess only time will tell.
I agree with what was mentioned about sales of the Tundra. With stricter CAFE regulations coming, more than likely this played a roll in Toyota’s decision.
I wonder how many EB F150’s are sold when compared to the V8 powered GM twins and the Dodge.
The next few years in the 1/2 ton market is going to be very interesting and exciting and that’s good news for consumers.

My wife's F150 has a 3.5 EB with 147K and mine has the 5.0 with 121K. I like both engines and neither has given any notable problems.

The main reason fwer 5.0s are sold is the dealers don't order them. Of course the 2.7eco is standard for the Screw, but the next most plentiful is the 3.5 Eco, 5.0 is the redheaded stepchild!

I only like two things about the 5.0. One is the sound and two is they get a little better fuel economy towing but if I had my choice I will take the twin turbos of the 3.5 eco. The low end torque can't be beat for towing and the turbos are better for high altitude than a NA
