I've got a friend who's got a 2500 suburban with a 6.0....and he gets 12 mpg empty on the highway......He also used to be a certified gm tech...so i know its maintained and nothing wrong with it....

I don't agree with it costing too much to put it into the F150. They have already done the engineering to make it fit with the Raptor. They obviously have already installed them and ran the Baja 1000s with one. The Raptor is based on the F150, as we all know. All they have to do is install them and sell them. They are not stupid enough to think no one will by them. Economy is definetly what is selling right now, not HP. But there are still enough of us who would buy one, even if it only gets 15 mpg. My 2000 4wd only gets about 17 mpg right now (the way I drive it, my wife does a little better). I am willing to pay more for gas to get the power, and I know I'm not the only one. Maybe a minority, but there are still enough of us to justify making them. I actually think it would help sales.
The only thing I can think of is maybe it won't get the mileage they need to keep the govt happy, and the gas guzzler tax could be enough to kill it. Or maybe they'll read this thread and just do it!

6.2 Boss Engine
Hi-
For what it's worth , I was up to a major Machine Tool Builder (in Port Huron,Mich.) 3 months ago on business for our company , and saw New CNC machining Centers ready to be shipped for the Ford Boss 6.2 Liter engine Block and Head line machines. There were also pallets of semi-finished parts alongside. Blocks looked VERY similar to our modular blocks today (OHC), and I measured the bores to be approximately 4.00" in the semi finished state.( The engine is Definitely an overhead cam design ) So, a lot of the tooling has been run-off , and waiting for installation somewhere at Ford. So- production is somewhere around the corner.

Will the 6.2L bolt up to the existing tranny's in the F-150 and the SD's? Will the 6 speed handle the TQ for the anticipated life of the truck? Is there a significant weight difference that may effect the truck overall?
Sorry for the questions, I don't know where to look for the answers.

Bringin' this thread back to life! So has anyone heard if the 6.2 will be in the F-150? I'm hearing it will be an option, Ford will finally be able to compete with the others in the HP game. They just won't be advertising it very much, all the advertising will be on MPG and GREEN! I will still be willing to suffer with less mileage to have power!
