Most intriguing is the direct injected 3.5L turbo V6, which produces more hp and torque than the 5.0L V8. Expect 400 hp and 400 lb-ft from this engine. The 6.2L V8 produces less than 10% more power than the turbo V6.
The V6's torque peak is reached low in the rpm range. The turbo V6 and 6.2L V8 have the same tow rating! Ford decided to cancel its 4.4L V8 diesel project because of the power and fuel economy of this gas V6.
