Ford Super-Duty to get new gas engine

its a 7.0L V8 to to replace the Triton 6.8L V10. Its a wonderful engine from what I'm hearing but only time will tell. Our degenerate premier was down here to sell it like it was because of her last week.

The new relax EPA laws will give us the big V-8's and V-10's back in our trucks..

Great news!

As of this writing it's Thursday 7:00 PM EDT, and no such announcement.

I have no regard for the current "news" practice of offering speculation as newsworthy.

7X or 7.0 litre

lots of bla bla bla but it was announced

Brian Maxim, a vice president at AutoForecast Solutions, said in a telephone interview that the 7.0-liter, V8 engine would have more torque and be more fuel efficient than the 6.8-liter V10 engine now built in Windsor and used in Ford's super-duty trucks, such as its F-250s.

I suspect that this announcement was news worthy to the Canadian's that build the 5.0 and 6.8 engines. And don't expect actual power numbers until right before product launch.

429 Cubic Inches got a nice ring to it. :B

Duty cycle?

Heat?

Or have those been shown to be ok under heavy loads in the EB?

The EB is limited to a GCWR of 17,100 in the F150. Engines with similar specs in more HD applications are rated for more. My 2005 Chevy 2500HD I used to have had close to the same, even though it had far less horsepower and torque as well as inferior transmission gearing. The old 460 V8 had a GCWR of 18,500, despite giving up over 100 hp and 70 ft./lbs of torque to the 3.5 EB.

In the Transit HD application, horsepower, torque and GCWR are even less than the F150, which is indicative that the EB in it's present form is not suitable for a HD pickup or cab/chassis platform at higher towing weights.

I'm surprised they are going this direction. I still don't understand why they won't put the EcoBoost into at the SuperDuty.
