The Standard F150 is suppose to stay at 365 Hp but with 450# torque. The biggest fix is that they are now using a standard injector with direct injection to fix the carbon issues of DI engines. To bad it took this long.
I just commented on the 10 speed trans at F150forum with the post below.
"Do you really want to be the guinea pig on a new 10 speed transmission that was designed in part by GM??!!
My folks are Chevy loyalist and they've had more transmissions rebuilt and repaired than I would want on my worst enemy.
I had my fair share of issues with my 6R60 in my Sport Trac. Mainly just getting the correct program for shifting. Then my 2010 F150 6R80 that wanted to throw you through the window when it shifted before coming to a stop. Same trans just different torque converter and programming.
Other than a bad Torque converter that started whining right after I took delivery, the 2012 6R80 has been very good. I would rather have a strong and reliable transmission with great gearing and performance, than a new 10 speed bike, I mean transmission, that will undoubtedly be plagued by bugs.
It's nice to hear how Ford is going to combat the DI issue as that's a concern when paired up with a turbo. Wonder if the 5.0L is going to make it next year. It would be a shame to only have Turbo engines that are not trusted by everyone. It would make some people go to the competition.
I think the motor line up for 2016 is just right. Would like to see the 3.7L again but the 3.5L is a great engine and powerhouse in our '15 Explorer."
