I can think of a reason why the 2.7 liter motor won't be as big a volume motor as many people here are predicting it to be. Right now, the largest truck you can get the 2.7 motor on is a 4x4 Supercrew with the near-useless 5.5' bed. I see far more Supercrew F-150's rolling with the 6.5 bed. Vast majority of 1500's/150's are 4x4's as well. Most common configuration is the Supercrew with the 6.5' bed. I just wonder why Ford will not put the 2.7 into this truck. RAM has gone ahead and allowed their little pentastar to be optioned onto any RAM 1500 configuration. I think the 2.7 would be a good powerplant but something raises a flag with me if they stop short of their largest (not necessarily most capable) truck configuration.
Post in short: Can't put a 2.7 into a Ford 4x4 Supercrew with 6.5' bed. At least going by how the configurator was setup about 2 weeks ago when I checked it out.
