This will sell some trucks.



I don't know how Ford managed to eclipse 5.7 liter V8's with a 3.5 liter. Remarkable.

 

FORD FTW.....awesome....43seconds faster than the Silverado :WOW

 

That actually was brutal testing. I'm impressed! Go FORD!

 

420 tq from a boosted v6.

lexus needs something like this.

 

I test drove an ecoboost 2010 MKS last year and was impressed. However, I didn't think it wise to buy a new engine, especially a domestic gasoline turbo, in the first year of production. Heck, Lincoln had a number of quality problems with the first year MKS units in 09 that didn't have the ecoboost engine.

 

Awesome! Now I know why I like Ford.

 

I look forward to the tear down, after the Baja race!

 

Thats pretty cool.

 

awesome marketing idea, love it!

 

F-150 is on a roll, once again!

Seen the F-150 raptor? amazing truck!

Ford should put this motor in the new SHO. The 2011 SHO has 350tq and weighs 4365.....more torque is needed to move that weight.

 

My investment is doing me proud...

 

Ford lately has been extremely aggressive with their F-Series marketing, more so than any other competitor in the truck segment. Dodge, GM, and Toyota need to take notes here. Toyota did a pretty good job with the Tundra marketing, but some quality issues here and there detracted from the reputation Toyota was trying to build with the Tundra.

The next-gen Tundra NEEDS to have a true heavy duty model in order to be taken more seriously, and also a serious off-road model. Overall quality needs to be improved especially with regards to the tailgate and sheet metal, as well as interior quality. Then, Toyota marketing has to be aggressive and smart. A specific type of marketing is needed for the truck segment.
