It looks like a very nice truck, but why so many entry level powerplant changes? My 2012 F-150 work truck has a 3.7L V6 which is a very nice smooth engine; it was replaced by a 3.5L V6 which is now being replaced by a 3.3L V6.
Is Ford saying these previous engines weren't good? In my mind, consumer confidence and brand name loyalty is supported by long term, venerable powerplants and this does not seem to fit. :h
I think it has more to do with Ford being really aggressive towards meeting future fuel efficiency and CAFE standards. The smaller they can get their engines the better they can meet higher mileage requirements. Maybe these standards will loosen up once the new Trump administration takes over.
