6.2L Engine pricing!
I'm not a big fan of the 6.2L engine... out of the four motors in the 2011 F150's, it is the least interesting to me, but I know lots of people out there are fans of it.
Ford charges handsomely for it. On the few F150 config's it is available on, it is over $3,100 on top of the 5.0L.
But I ran across this while looking for some parts on the Tasca web site...
Engine, F150,5.0L, 2011. MSRP: $6,622.21 Your Price: $5,463.33
Engine, F150,6.2L, 2011. MSRP: $5,322.21 Your Price: $4,390.83
$3,100 up-charge for something that is $1,100 less?
And you can buy an entire 6.2L for about $1,100 more than the up-charge alone?
Apart from the obvious practicality/compatibly issues, you could buy a new 5.0 truck and a 6.2L crate motor, swap engines, sell the 5.0 on eBay and be *way* ahead!

Not really too surprising. Thought it was a cheaper/simpler design but any engine that puts out more power will fetch a better price. I hate marketing.
Don't know too much about desiels but does $7,800 upgrade on the 6.2l seem like a lot for the 6.7l? Seems they are asking that price because of the better mpg. If it was $3K more expensive than the 6.2l then everyone would get one. Seems high... $13K for an engine? I could buy a Cummins or a 7.3 powerstroke for less than that. Anyone?

Engine, super duty, 6.2L, 2011 MSRP: $5,322.21 Your Cost: $4,390.83
Engine, super duty, 6.7L Diesel, 2011 MSRP: $7,810.66 Your Cost:$6,443.80
My understanding is that the new diesels are pretty pricey to put in, largely due to the DEF, particulate traps, regen cycles, etc.
