Yes, I'd expect they are very similar, if not identical.

Where did you see those specs??? The 2015 Ford 150 website shows 365hp and 420 torque. Am I missing something?

I see it on the 2015 Lincoln Navigator, but you did not look at the small print which says 93 Octane to achieve that horsepower.
The 2015 Expedition shows 365 hp and 420 torque with 87 Octane.

I'm pretty sure they are the exact same engines and programming. It's just advertised numbers. Yes, the F150 and Navi will make those numbers. It's just Lincoln gets the highest advertised number because they need to separate themselves from Ford. They are a premium brand and if customers are going to shell out $75k for a vehicle, they better have bragging rights. It's no secret the current EB makes 380/430 on 91 octane. My guess is there was minor tuning for the 15's. Expect to see 365/420 just like the Expi. Remember, those numbers are on 87 octane. If you ran 93 in the F-150, you'd get the same numbers as Lincoln. There's no way they are going to advertise that because the vast majority of folks run on 87 and if they see Premium anywhere they'll think that's what the truck requires and may walk.

Hydro, realistically if I used the 91 Octane instead of 87 in the new 2015 Ford 150 Ecoboost would there be a noticeable difference and would there possibly be less turbo lag running the 91 Octane?
