EcoBoost V8
Bobcat - Dual Fuel Engine
Codenamed Bobcat, it is an expansion to the EcoBoost family. It is based on a 5.0 L V8 engine block, but it uses E85 direct injection and gasoline port injection. The engine was co-developed with Ethanol Boosting Systems, LLC of Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Bobcat project was unveiled in Department of Energy and Society of Automotive Engineers in April 2009.[12]
5.0 L 'Road Runner'
Codenamed Road Runner, it is rumored to be a 500 hp engine to be used in the 2012 Shelby GT500 and F-150 Harley-Davidson edition pickups.[26] The "Road Runner" is not considered a part of the EcoBoost family as it does not feature direct injection. 2012 GT500 engine specs have been released with no change to the current drivetrain.

Probably only available for the Super Duty. If Ford comes out with more hp and torque for a 1/2 ton I don't think that they can afford to up the tow ratings any more to go along with it. Weights are getting up there pretty high now, any higher is probably a lawsuit waiting to happen.
