While the 2.7-3.0 swap is a big-ish deal... what jumped off the pages to me in Ford's product info guide and order guide was the deletion of Auto Start-Stop. Huzzah!   Have to seriously read between the lines in the order guide to see that, but it specifically mentioned it in the product info guide. Same guide, though, says the 3.0 will make 325hp and 400 lb/ft, which are the same numbers as the outgoing 2.7 engine. I suspect that's a placeholder, but that's just a guess.

But...Who do you tip??

It was only used in F150, Ranger and Bronco after they ditched the transverse version, and 2.3/3.0 makes more sense e ranger and bronco.

yes

We already know a Bronco pickup is coming and it will likely have Ranger Super Duty underpinnings (T6.3) as will the forthcoming F-100.

Aviator was the flagship.  They went all in on it at first but pulled back a little lately.

Are both the 2.7 and 3.0 CGI blocks?

Over the top silliness. More recalls and maintenance.

Eliminating overlap between the F-150 and the future F-100 makes sense. I’m thinking the 2.7 remains an option for the F-100.

It makes sense to me that they'd want to consolidate two similar engines into one across the board instead of offering the 2.7 on some models, and the 3.0 on others (or in some cases, both on the same model).
