10 hp WHAT A JOKE!
310 hp@ 5.4 . 10 more hp. 
Lets take it easy. Lets compare our f 150 top of the line 5.4 vs
Toyo 4.7
Chevy 4.8
dodge 4.7
titan V6
That will be the only way to be ahead of the competition.

These numbers are nothing more than guesses. It has been stated on this forum time and time again. Motor trend, as well as any of us are allowed to make a guess. Until it comes from Ford it is nothing more.

Truthfully i think Ford has something up their sleeve and are waiting to release the numbers because maybe they havent finished the power-train yet. But you would think that if these things are gonna be on dealer lots by September then they would be darn close to being done with revamping the 5.4l

you guys take Motor Trend that seriously?
that article was full of crap
1. they said that tq was up to 365-last time i checked it already has 365 tq
2. they say the Crew cab will now be called Supercrew-it has been called supercrew since 01
seriously....why would Ford only put 10 more horses and not gain any tq from what they did?
Motor Trend has gotten stuff wrong before

Besides, if they published the ratings now, what would we talk about. The new truck would be very old news by the time it is available. This keeps a buzz going.
As with many things, the anticipitation is better than getting what we are chasing.

Ive already heard from a ford buddy the 5.4 has been bumped up to 380 hp and over 410 lb ft tq. Hes also been hearing the 6.2 will have around 450+ hp. So yeh thats a little more then 10 hp. anyone who listens to motortrend doesnt deserve to drive a truck.

I would guess that is more likely than the 10hp improvement. Motor Trend is always full of crap. Ford mst be planning on some big suprise becasue they are keeping it closely gaurded. If they were close to the same they probably would have already anounced it. Theres no need to give Toyota a early notice that their Tundra is going to get an a$$ whooping in a major way. Hmm, a truck by Ford that has more tq, similar hp but an interior that would make their Lexus department drool, better handling, features that Toyata coldnt dream up even on a good day and looks that dont make you lose your lunch.
