Will the 5.4 be around in 2011?
Hey all, I am waiting to see the new hp/tq numbers on the 3.5 TT ecoboost before i buy a new F150. My dealer says the 5.4 will be around for a while but doesn't have any specifics on the 3.5. I don't want to pass up on the 2010 good deals if the 3.5 sucks. Any ideas when we will actually get numbers on the ecoboost? Do you think the will increase the 5.4 numbers as well?
Thanks

Thanks, but that blog is from Jan 2009. Does Ford really have enough 3.5's and 5.0's to replace the 4.6 and 5.4 for 2011? Knowing Ford I think those 400 hp figures for the 3.5 TT are probably optimistic. I know the 3.5 is coming for sure in 2011, just not sure if the 5.4 will be around or not. What do you say?

no the will be gone. it'll be the 3.5T, the 5.0, or the 6.2. And i'd hope to hell ford can get 400 out of the 3.5, there is no reason why they shouldn't be able to.

The sales MGR at my local Ford dealership, said he was positive the 5.4 would be offered in 2011. I told him my sources (you guys) said it might be replaced. I told him I would wait to see what 2011 offers for engines. He scoffed at the thought of Ford not offering the old 5.4. Does anyone know for sure if it will be gone or are we guessing. BTW you are right if Ford cannot squeeze 400lbs of torque out of that 3.5 TT it will be a slap in the face.

well i really don't think they will have the 5.4. there is no place for it with the new motors offered. i guess its possible they might just for the die-hards in 2011, but it will for sure be gone by 2012.

The 5.4's will be fazed out by 2012,2013 at the latest what my buddy said who works for ford.Fords goals is to have about 70-80% Eco Boosts engines in north America as well as overseas.However tho,if ford see's a strong response,they will up-ramp production of the Eco Boosts engines and totaly faze out the 5.4's by 2012.Also whats nice as i read,Ford with there hybrid batteries will be moving from mexico to Michigan bringing some much needed job relief.Ya for ford.Their the only auto maker that will be doing this
