New engine info....6.2, Ecoboost....
Good article on pickuptrucks.com with more details on upcoming engines for the F-150. Ecoboost sounds promising.

mmmm....400+ horsepower.
The ecoboost sounds sweet but I wonder if people will actually buy them. I mean if your sitting there pricing out an F150 or even looking at them on the lot and there is 3 all lined up. One with the ecoboost, one with the 5.0L(maybe) and one with the 6.2L. I'm guessing the ecoboost probably wont sell as well. At least until gas prices start going back up.

For dis going to have some really good years ahead assuming of course that reliability and cost remain Ford's top priority. I believe it will.
I can't wait to get a hold of a 6.2L SD or a 5.0L F-150 and put the hammer down.

John, I love it when you dig up this info. Please continue to do so, no matter how mundane it may seem to some folks it's always fresh and exciting for me.

I guess I'm still like a kid at heart because anything Ford truck related gets me hopped up. And with my schedule, it allows me some down time to dig around a little.I can't wait to see how these new engines do in real world testing by actual owners and the sites / magazines that test them on a regular basis. Speculation is fine but seat of the pants is what I'm anxious to see.

I'll definately wait and see what problems they have with any of these new engines before buying. If memory serves me correctly, the 6.0L was a disappointment from a reliability stand point, and the 2-valve 5.4L engines sipped gas like a 460, not to mention they spit out spark plugs. And then we have the well documented plugs breaking in the head upon removal in the 3-valve engines. I'll wait and see what the genius engineers give us before purchasing.
