Mr. I got magical numbers only us Ford guys can see, can't report out any ACTUAL number to prove his point. Not a single one of those quotes gives any actual numbers of the 3.5 vs the 5.0, but to answer your question, YES please let's get back on topic.
And the same could not be said about you stating that the Ecoboost did not outsell the 5.0L until 4 years later? Show me the numbers you have for 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014.

By the way, I'm not mad at all. I get a chuckle every time I read your posts, this has been very entertaining for me. Also, I enjoy debating and got a plethora of valid points already on the board. My goal is not to make a believer out of you, as some people just have a certain basis, but to ACCURATELY inform anyone interested in the original topic.
Funny, because I think the same of your posts.
Although, if your goal is not to make a believer of me, then why are you debating my opinion? The article that I posted earlier from August 2015 about the Ecodiesel only making up 12 percent of Ram 1500 sales was fact. It was also a fact that this was before VW admitted to cheating. What I said after that was opinion signaled by the words "This should" and "I think" yet you still took issue with the post.
So what did you take issue with, the facts in the article or my opinions? If you take issue with my opinions, then how can you say you are not trying to make a believer out of me by your continual effort to try and change my opinion which is based on past market data?
That’s good, I’m glad your not getting frustrated.
Can I as an actual owner/driver of a similar vehicle to the one in question have an opinion also, maybe a different one? Dare I say, more valuable one than a non-owner to those interested in this type of engine. I listened to your opinions, however I disagree with the future trend you see with these trucks and capabilities by the way. You are not my target audience in this debate.
Well the 5 litre V8 outsold the 2008 version when it was sold in the Lincoln
The first Ford vehicle to feature this engine was the 2007 Lincoln MKR concept vehicle under the name TwinForce.[54] The engine was designed to deliver power and torque output equivalent to a typical 6.0-L or larger-displacement V8 while achieving at least 15% better fuel efficiency and reduced greenhouse emissions. In the MKR, the concept TwinForce engine was rated at 415 hp (309 kW) and 400 lb?ft (542 N?m) of torque, as well as run on E85 fuel.[55] When the same prototype engine reappeared in the Lincoln MKT concept in 2008 North American International Auto Show, the name was changed to EcoBoost.
