Found an article on the 2.7 ecoboost, it gives some more details about the engine. Not much info but more than I have seen anywhere else. No hp or torque numbers unfortunately.

Damn, they lost me at "start stop technology"....I hate that.

I read somewhere start/stop will be defeatable via button/menu option.. It also won't activate in 4x4 or when towing.

Heck, now that I read this article, it says the same thing I just said. What's with all the negativity? Ford knows what they are doing with this truck.

The start/stop tech used in the Fusion has been highly praised, even superior to those offered by premium makes such as BMW. I would expect no less from the same tech in the F150.

I missed the "button/menu" part....where did you see it?

I don't recall, I've watched so many vids and articles today.

Okay, found where I saw the start/stop info...Scroll down to What Engines & Transmissions are Available, and you'll see the following under the 2.7L.

• An all-new 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 slots in above. Power and torque figures have not been revealed, but output is said to "exceed that of other mid-level truck V8 engines." This twin-turbo engine will also have an automatic start-stop system to save even more fuel when the truck is stationary. The system will automatically disengage in 4x4 mode or when a trailer is in tow, and there will also be an off switch. This engine is destined to be a volume seller with excellent fuel economy.
