Yah I got tired of waiting... guess it will be a 7.3L.
-
What brand of black lug nuts?
-
6.7 wins everytime.
What I find odd is the two new gas engines Fords 7.3L and GMs 6.6L have been out for 2 years and there is still not one direct same day same track comparison.
-
On that truck with 37's any wheels going to look dang good! ?
-
I'd be happy if they allowed more flexibility w the F150 HDPP. Even high XLT would allow LEDs and "better" audio. If XLT sport was option even better. Oh and the 6.8L as well.
-
Nope. Wasnt in 22 order guide yesterday. ? Guess its time to order a 7.3L 250.
-
Ok makes sense noticed chrome grille after I hit send.
-
XLT black pkg/tremor?
-
I jeep checking w national search at autotrader.com but no luck so far. Curious myself.
-
Ooooh Lariat sport app pkg. V nice. ? Please more pics when able. Hadnt seen pics in that color yet.

If they any good at marketing they will sell this to the gm diehards for 6-8 months, then the raptor level (not raptor r) model will appear. Amd they'll all buy that one. But as conservative as gm is who knows....
-
Well the word iron is used.... but the 2.7L uses a CGI block. Different animal. Strong and light but costly vs old fashioned iron.

Agree. 7.3L prime example.
-
My tounge was firmly in cheek. Agree 100%.

In that case I guess aluminum blocks would work great in HD trucks. You win. Have a great day. ?
-
The testing HD/commercial trucks go through is not the same as half tons or the rest of the fleet.
-
Agree, you are right re mpg and running rich. And I am right cause as stated it would never survive SD durability standards. Same reason gm didn't drop the 6.2L into the hd when it made more # than the old 6.0L. Wouldn't have survived the stress. (Plus rated on premium) instead they designed new 6.6L.
7.3L 538 lbs
Coyote 404 lbs
Diff 134 lbs.
Now the good news is the 7.3L is much more compact vs the 5.0L.
Ford didn't spend all that money going aluminum to save 750 lbs on a F150 crew just to throw in a iron block. But who knows... all speculation. The last iron block in a half ton? MY2014 F150 w 6.2L which outside Raptor was max 5% of sales?

Sounds about right ! I still think it is odd that the E-Series has a de-tuned version.
6.8L would be a great base engine for a F250 and a low cost replacement for the Coyote in the F150.
But would they make a 6.8L with iron and aluminum block. Not likely. And unlike the 6.2L which lived in F150 and SD for 4 year overlap I don't think they will put an iron block in a F150 today. Too heavy. And aluminum block in a SD would melt like butter in Az summer. Would never handle the tougher SD durability testing. Same reason no EB in a SD or a 6.2L gm in a gm HD.

No clue. All I know is union leader leaked news last last Oct/early Nov and hit every auto news site. He claimed heading to Mustang and F150. Articles easy to find. Rest is likely speculation unless u happen to know someone at Windsor.
-
Aluminum block? Won't be cast iron if in anything other than Super Duty.
-
-
@ month until we get 22 F150 order guide.
-
The $$$ question for me... does it land in any MY 22 F150. ?
-
Why would it replace the 7.3L. 7.3L +8,500lbs doesn't impact cafe stds. Seems simple to me aluminum 6.xL V8 is compact, more compact than the 5.0L or 3.5L EB.Cheaper to build vs complex 5.0L. More upside vs 5.0L.
But I realize I'm very biased as I want one in a F150.
