"I don't see how a 2.7LTT is going to be able to efficiently(mpg) move a 5500 lb truck."

The aluminum body will shed 700 lbs. The 2.7EB looks to have 320hp/370tq. Will pull pretty darn good, especialy if the trans is an 8 spd, and could approach 30 mpg highway.

My sister-n-law's BMW does this and it is very annoying. If you sit there for a few seconds with the brake pedal depressed by a certain percantage, the engine shuts off. THen when you are ready to go, the car jolts and vibrates and the engine it comes back on. We all hate it and luckily hers has a button where you can disable the feature.

8 or 10 speed is down the pike I'm sure. Ford & GM are currently working together on a 10-speed...

5.0 to get better gas mileage. I am thinking power bumps for the 5.0 and 3.5 are in weight reduction (700 is a lot). 2.7 sounds wicked especially with the block material. I think this engine places a target on the 5.0's back. Just a matter of time.

I agree. The reports right now just suggest the 2015's will have 6 speeds.

Is this start/stop technology going to be on all the engines or only the new 2.7L? I can see this being a nightmare in our stop and go gridlock city traffic we have here.

It deactivates in trailer tow and 4x4. Its can also be manually be turned off. I hope they put it on every vehicle.

LOL... sorry man. Not picking on you but I thought it was worth a chuckle.

I have a hard time confessing it, but I have better luck (and fuel economy) with my 5.0 than the 3.5, but the eco is more fun.

I'll take the 2.7 in a new Escape, or maybe the China-only MKC....
