[QUOTE="Jroc, post: 10254563, member: 51847"] I would never buy this truck. Regardless of how strong the motor is. How good a MPG it gets. If it gives out hand jobs in the morning. I don't care. V8's are just expected when laying down $40K+ for premium trucks. Ford could easily develop a v8 to tear this motor a new one.(a Ecoboost 5.0 for example would easily accomplish this) I'm a Ford guy, and always have been, but I would buy a Chevy, Dodge, Nissan, Toyota, GMC, and whatever else truck B/F I would buy a highend F150 with a V6. To me this would be like buying a new GT500/Mustang Cobra with a V6. Will the motor work good? Probably so its a boosted DI motor so its going to make some decent power. Again irrelevant. V8's in fullsized trucks is just an American thing, and I have talked to noone in person who would buy a premium F150 with a v6 in it regardless of how good it is. Ofcourse there's the Boss V8, but in reality it probably isn't as good for the truck as Ford didn't develop it for it. It's still a heavy, cast iron motor that's old school with no valve timing or any of these other modern technologies. Also Ford will sell a Lariat, I believe KR, Platinum, HD, and Raptor with a Boss motor, but why no Boss motor for the FX4? Also I would assume that the new 5.0 is a stronger motor than the outgoing 5.4 so why is it rated to work less than the 5.4? Oh yeah that's right they don't want it to take sells away from the new Ecoboost. Hopefully Ford will up the 5.0's game in the next few years by giving it DI. [/QUOTE]
