For someone who says they do not like to get into it you sure do debates into different twists further from we were discussing. But if you want to turn this into a different debate just because you ran out of valid points on the last one and are still mad then lest do it.
August of 2011
"In May, June and July, the F-150 engine mix ran 41 percent EcoBoost and 15 percent 3.7-liter V6 base engine, Ford says."
August of 2011
"Ford sold nearly 50,000 units of its F-series in July, making it the most popular vehicle in the United States. The automaker says its EcoBoost V6 accounted for 40 percent of its volume, while the 3.7-liter V6 took 16 percent of sales. Other engine options, including a popular flex-fuel 5.0-liter V8 and the F-150 SVT Raptor's high-performance 6.2-liter V8, accounted for the remaining 44 percent of the truck's sales."
That is a combined 56% leaving the combined sales of the 5.0L and 6.2L only found in the Raptor and higher trim level at 44%. Due to the popularity of the Raptor, it is highly unlikely that the 6.2L made up less than 3% of F150 sales.
August 2012
"Not only has Ford sold over 200,000 EcoBoost F-150s since the engine's introduction, but as of July, EcoBoost V-6s accounted for 43 percent of F-150 sales. In fact, Ford now sells more V-6-powered F-150s than V-8-powered ones the base 3.7-liter V-6 accounted for 11 percent of all F-150 sales, pushing the total V-6 take rate to 54 percent. Although Ford doesn't split 5.0-liter and 6.2-liter V-8 sales, the two eight-cylinder engines together account for 46 percent of F-150 sales. Given that the 6.2-liter V-8 is the F-150's premium engine, we're inclined to believe that most of that 46 percent is dominated by the 5.0-liter Coyote V-8."
November 2012
"Fast forward 2 years later and that gamble has now become one of the most popular engines with over 200,000 sold. It’s a very popular engine, Ford spokesman Mike Levine said, adding that EcoBoost engines went into 43 percent of F-150’s sold so far this year. EcoBoost take-rates have exceeded our expectations."
May 2014
"Since being introduced for the 2011 model year, the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 has been installed in roughly 45% of Ford F150 pickups while the base 3.5L V6, the 5.0L V8 and the 6.2L V8 have all combined to account for the other 55% of F150 sales."
So what links can you provide that state that the 5.0L outsold the Ecoboost from 2011-2015 because everyone I link insinuates otherwise. All of the article I have found have stated that the 3.5 Ecoboost alone made 43% of all F150 sales. Or do you and Robert want to get back on topic?
"insinuates"
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.
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.
