2009 F-150 what do you think?

Last year my wife and i were going to buy a navigator. We weren't real impressed with the engine's output compared to the other SUV's we looked at.

Anyway, I noticed when I was more infomed on the Navigator, that Ford planned on a future 6.2L "Boss" V-8 gas engine in '08-'09. I think it was listed with an output of 360-400HP and 400+ ftlbs of torque depending on application.

I think you'll see this engine replace the V-10 this fall.

I hope not. V10 looks like a good option for the occasional tower in the Super Duty line.

Now 400HP and 400+FT# of torque in a F-150 looks like fun. Sign me up.

One other thing is they said the fuel economy has gone up due to the new tranny and engine redesigns.

Builder what did you think of the 5.4 coupled to the 6-speed in the navigator? My dad just got one and the 6 speed deffinately makes a difference compared the 4 speed in my Super Duty.

I liked it. I actually wanted it, but I didn't think it zoomed like the GMC Yukon V-8 or the Volvo XC90 V-8.

In the end, my wife liked the Volvo XC-90 with the Yamaha V-8. The thing is just smooth as silk and she liked the smaller size.

I think the new 6.2L Boss V-8 will really help the 'Gator sell better.
