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.....
When I talk about the last I checked numbers I am not talking about the numbers in the article from mid 2017. I am referring to actual numbers from the last time I checked dealer connection which we get from Ford since we own four Ford medium duty dealerships. I would post a link to the info, but you will need a log in and password to view it.
