That is all. I have no more to say on this subject.
My buddy had (sold the f150) both trucks. Pulling the same weight the Hemi pulled better but the Ford got better milage pulling. He sold the Ford and kept the Dodge both were 1/2 ton 4dr sb loaded. He liked the Dodge better, handled and pulled better. Personal experience because I drove both trucks too!!

new ford 6.2 will be about 425/425 in 2v sohc form.

there are plans for gttdi, dohc, 4v, other versions too. 7.0liter version of this engine made 700 hp when tuned in a mustang at the track.. again with 2v, sohc, 2plugs per cylinder.

from what i hear the gttdi version (or ecoboost as they're calling it now) will be offered as a high tq alternative to diesels in the superdutys.. they're just a chip away from eating anything out there alive.

thats just what i've gather reading various websites, some of it could be off a bit or wrong all together.

Either way, the HEMI still manges to out power and out torque the 5.4.
look at what vvt does for vw cars, 1.8t's, and vr6 engines, they rip........power of eight cylinders out of a 6 and power of 6 cylinders out there 4 cyl engines

I owned a Nissan Titan and hated it. Its the only vehicle I can say I have been scared to drive in snow, trying to keep it in one lane was nearly impossible. It towed poorly, our 16 foot flat bed towing a VW rabbit pushed it in every direction. Power was ok, there was a huge drop from unloaded tho, and it seemed like the suspension just couldnt handle it, I can say I wouldn't want to tow a big camper with one. and going over dirt or rough roads with it made it seem cheap, the whole truck seemed to shake and rattle and it bounced every were.

I hope the 6.2 will get more then that! Since the 6.1 HEMI already manages that !
