Actually 61:1 is taller 6th gear than the 69:1...but I would bet it is a typo

MT even suggests that they under estimate the HP numbers.

The 5.0 doesn't weigh much more than 3.5 - 19 pounds more is all
3.5 L V-6 - 416.7 lb (189.01 kg)
5.0 L V-8 - 435.0 lb (197.30 kg)
All that extra plumbing for the turbos must really add up in the ecoboosts considering the 3.7 L V-6 is only 355 pounds (161 kg)

Seems odd because Car and Driver had no problem running a 6.1 0-60 with a 4x4 EcoBoost.

Test the 0-60 of a 4x4 and 4x2 5.0 and watch the difference due to the parasitic driveline
Believe me I'm not an Eco Naysayer but they should have all been 4x4 or 4x2

Source 2011 F-150 Workshop Manual for all of the engine weights. The 6.2 is the only one without an aluminum block.
