Ford ups F-150 and Expedition engine output for 2018
Today, Ford finally revealed all of the details on the gasoline engines, and they show minor gains almost across the board.
In the Ford F-150, the downsized naturally aspirated 3.3-liter V6 picks up 8 horsepower over the bigger 3.5-liter engine for a total of 290, and 12 pound-feet of torque for a total of 265. The 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 doesn't get any more power, but it does pick up 25 extra pound-feet of twist at 400 in total. The naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 also sees gains of 10 horsepower and 13 pound-feet, bringing its final numbers to 395 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. Both the regular F-150's and Raptor's 3.5-liter EcoBoost engines have the same outputs as last year's models.
The Expedition only offers the EcoBoost 3.5-liter V6, but it now has two versions, and they both make more power than the outgoing model. The standard version, available on XL, XLT, and Limited trim levels gains 10 horsepower and 50 pound-feet of torque over the old engine. This means it makes the same 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque as the F-150. The Expedition Platinum takes the engine a step farther, making 400 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque because it requires the use of premium fuel.

the 3.5 ecoboost is a beast. people are hitting low 13s and high 12s with bolt ons. In 5000 pound crew cab trucks LOL. I will have one when I pay off the GS and get a bigger house with a better roomier driveway.

I thought they'd wring out more from the 5.0, but I'm pretty sure at this point they're just sandbagging it to stop it from eating up too much EcoBoost sales.
Hopefully the addition of direct injection will help it compete with the 5.3 on fuel economy. Not that the 5.0 is bad, but it'd be awesome to see it become better.

I will give Ford some serious credit for upping their engine game. Back in the 90's and 00's, Ford's V8's were total weaksauce compared to what GM had at that time. Horsepower/torque wasn't even close to comparable compared to the "old" 350 Chevy V8's and then "new" LS series. Ford also put out some serious crap in terms of relability at that time as well(5.4 Trition, 6.0 Powerstroke, 6.4 Powerstroke). They've fixed their diesels as well, the newer 6.7 Powerstroke V8 diesels are pretty reliable, designed and built by Ford after Navistar completely burned them on the last two diesels they designed for their pickups.

The first gen 5.4 was actually solid(the 2 valve per cylinder version which was sold from 97-03). It was the later 3 valve version that had spark plug and cam phaser issues.
