We have been discussing trends of the masses and what someone might do purchasing a truck. I admitted I didn't know the actual numbers. I responded to the information YOU offered. It sounds like you don't know the actual numbers either and want to speculate to fit your argument.
Speaking of fudging the numbers.

The last I checked it was around 40% 3.5 EB, 25% 2.7 EB, 25% 5.0L and 10% 3.3L. So the base engine with the least power(290 hp)/best fuel economy is only purchased 10% of the time and customers opt for costlier more powerful/less efficient engines options 90% of the time.
Lets use your math the same way you did and assume the 3.5 and 2.7 will sell equal numbers of trucks, despite what Ford is actually saying. So they would split that 65% in half. I'll even give the more powerful 3.5 the benefit and say that's 33% of the market. So the engine that is most powerful/less efficient is only purchased 33% of the time and customers opt for cheaper less powerful/more efficient engines options 67% of the time.
See what I did there.....
