| New EcoBoost Engine for 2011 F-150 | | Ford engineers drew from their extensive experience using Direct Injection (DI) and Turbocharging in diesel engine development to create the innovative EcoBoost™ engine (available early 2011). DI produces a cooler, denser charge that generates more power per every drop of fuel, while the twin turbochargers boost performance with virtually no perceptible turbo lag. EcoBoost is amazingly powerful, generating 90 percent of its 400 lb.-ft. of torque from 1,500 to 5,500 rpm. So you can depend on it to provide all the power you need, when you need it. And can it tow? The answer is an emphatic yes. F-150 with EcoBoost has best-in-class maximum towing capability at 11,300 pounds.* Best-in-class payload, too, at 3,060 pounds.* The EcoBoost engine underwent over 1900 hours of testing at full-boost conditions, as well as thermal testing to simulate 10 years of operation in the harshest environments. EcoBoost is up to any task you can give it -- and then some. |

| New 3.7L Ti-VCT V6 Engine for 2011 F-150 | 
*Class is non-hybrid Full-Size Pickups under 8,500 lbs. GVWR. 16 city/23 highway/19 combined mpg with F-150 4x2 and 3.7L V6 engine. Based on preliminary Ford data. Pending EPA certification | More than ever, you need the highest fuel economy from your pickup, but not at the expense of power. That's why Ford engineers designed the 3.7L Ti-VCT V6 as the new standard F-150 powerplant. The 3.7L is E85 Flex Fuel-capable, features dual overhead cams (DOHC) and four valves per cylinder, plus Twin Independent Variable Cam Timing (Ti-VCT) technology. Ti-VCT allows for variable control of the intake and exhaust camshafts, optimizing combustion at full load to increase power and low-speed torque. It also enables variable valve overlap, which enhances fuel economy and improves cold start operation with lower exhaust emissions. What it all comes down to is, the 3.7L V6 delivers best-in-class fuel economy, as well as class-leading 302 horsepower and 6,100-lb. tow capability (when properly equipped).* | |
| New 5.0L Ti-VCT V8 Engine for 2011 F-150 | | The new 5.0L Ti-VCT 4V V8 generates an impressive 360 horsepower and 380 lbs.-ft. of torque. So not surprisingly, the 5.0L V8 delivers the most horsepower and torque, plus the highest payload and towing capability, of any small-displacement V8 engine.* The 5.0L is engineered with advanced features such as Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT) technology. Ti-VCT allows for variable control of the intake and exhaust camshafts, optimizing combustion at full load to increase power and low-speed torque. It also enables variable valve overlap, which improves cold start operation with lower exhaust emissions. Other notable features: a high-strength aluminum engine block, optimized camshafts and 10.5:1 compression ratio to help maximize low-speed torque, and a cylinder head designed to increase airflow. Along with its potent V8 power and Flex Fuel efficiency, the 5.0L delivers proven Built Ford Tough durability. |

| New 6.2L V8 Engine for 2011 F-150 |
*Class is non-hybrid Full-Size Pickups under 8,500 lbs. GVWR. 16 city/23 highway/19 combined mpg with F-150 4x2 and 3.7L V6 engine. Based on preliminary Ford data. Pending EPA certification | The 6.2L V8 features a single overhead cam valvetrain with dual-equal variable cam timing. The large bore (4.105") allows for larger intake and exhaust valves for improved engine breathing, while the short stroke (3.74") makes higher engine speed possible for increased horsepower. The 6.2L has lightweight aluminum cylinder heads and pistons for efficiency and employs a cast iron cylinder block for durability. There are other impressive specs. But the ones you're no doubt most interested in are those you can really feel: power ratings of 411 horsepower and 434 lb.-ft. of torque that no other engine in its class can match.* And if you're into towing for business or recreation, how does an the best-in-class 11,300-lb. tow rating sound?* The 6.2L V8 is optional in the F-150 Lariat SuperCrew and Platinum; standard in Harley-Davidson™, Lariat Limited and SVT Raptor. | |
