No more V8 in F150?

[Sysop]

Technically a 3.5L engine at about 14PSI of boost is displacing about 7L on each revolution. Not often does the ecoboost run at 14PSI, but it can as needed. It's not really replacing displacement, it's just using boost/compression to fit it in a smaller package and deliver it on an as-needed basis.

 

[Snobdds]

A 7liter displacement engine is equal to 3.5 liters and 1 bar or 14.7 pounds of boost. So from a pure mathematical standpoint, psi is a substitute for displacement.

As the fleet tests continue to prove the 3.5 ecoboost to be a longer lasting, harder working engine than the V8, the V8 demand will shrink significantly.




I think the difference for which line they get built on is more to do with the frame length/wheelbase than the bed sizes.

Mostly, however the 8' bed trucks (reg cab with 8' is same length as super cab / 6.5' bed or crew cab / 5.5' bed) are all built at KCAP.

I understand, I was just pointing out the only specifics based on bed size that I know of. The 6.5' boxes are built in both places. The 8' boxes are not.

OK, Thanks

Also look for yet another powerful new option with a new 3.0L Power Strokeｮ Diesel engine. Coming in Spring 2018.

Most likely the joint Ford/PSA (PSA is Peugeot Citroen parent group) Lion V6 diesel.

Same one they're using in the van, yep. Power output hasn't been announced, but most are speculating that it will be less than both the gasser V8 and 3.5L ecoboost, figuring it will be tuned for fuel economy to compete with the Ram ecodiesel.

I thought the 3.2 in the Transit is an inline 5 built by Mazda...

The van diesel is an inline 5, not sure if Mazda builds it though.

Elsewhere i read that the Mazda B50 is replaced by a badge engineered Ranger, and the B50 didnt use this engine yet...

3.2 five would mean a 2.5 four.. what engine would it be based off then, because all other Ford diesels are Peugeot designs which replaced the old Transit 2.5 diesel... and in the landrover a V6 is used instead...

The 3.0 V6 going in the F150 is not the same as the 3.2 I5 in the Transit vans. It's essentially the same 3.0L Lion V6 used by Jaguar/Land Rover.
