2015 F150 5.0 and GT 5.0 Differences
Does anyone know the exact difference between the two?
I've heard the cams are different, anyone have any specs?
Just curious.

I found this information on another forum;
Ford Playing Tricks - New 5.0L

The intake cams are unique to the truck. The TiVCT is tuned for more low end TQ.. which will rob some HP. Mustang has tubular headers and a slightly higher compression ratio. The Mustangs 412 is also on premium fuel. It is 402 on 87... only 42 higher than the F150 on 87.
Four All New Engines for 2011 Ford F-150

While this 5.0-liter V8 engine is similar to the one powering the Mustang, it has several important differences to optimize it for truck duty. The camshafts were tuned to improve low-speed torque, which is key to truck customers. Also, the 10.5:1 compression ratio was optimized to reduce knock tendency at lower engine speeds while towing. This results in an engine with less peak horsepower than the Mustang, more designed to deliver torque that trucks need. The hardware added to the 5.0 specifically for F-150 includes: an additional oil cooler, which helps extend the life of the oil to 10,000-mile intervals; foam covers for the fuel injectors to reduce NVH; and cast exhaust manifolds for improved durability. The new aluminum block is 70 pounds lighter than the 5.4-liter V8, which aids fuel economy and improves handling. The engine’s forged-steel crankshaft also ensures durability.
Ford Modular Engine - 5.0L Coyote
Quote:
A torque-biased variant of the Coyote is produced as an alternative to the EcoBoost V6 in the new F-150 pickup truck. The F150 5.0L receives a lower compression ratio (10.5:1), intake camshafts with less duration, cast iron exhaust manifolds, and revised cylinder heads and intake manifold intended to promote low-end and mid-range power and torque. The engine retains the Coyote's forged steel crank and piston-cooling jets but benefits from the addition of an external engine oil cooler similar to the Boss 302's. The changes result in the engine's peak horsepower dropping to 360 bhp (268 kW; 365 PS) while torque remains the same as the Boss 302 at 380 lb·ft (520 N·m).
Boss 302 (Road Runner) Variant[edit]
A higher performance variant of the Coyote, dubbed Road Runner internally by Ford, is produced under the Boss 302 moniker used for the resurrected Boss 302 Mustang for the 2012 model year.[15] The Boss 302 receives CNC ported heads cast in 356 aluminum providing additional airflow and strength, and a higher lift exhaust camshaft profile is used. Valvetrain components were lightened as much as possible, including the use of sodium filled exhaust valves, while strengthened powdered metal rods and forged aluminum pistons were added. Piston-cooling jets were also deleted, which are standard in the 5.0 model.[16] Exterior changes include a high-mount intake plenum (as opposed to the standard engine's low-mounted one) with shorter runners to improve high-rpm power. Power is increased from 412 hp (307 kW) to 444 hp (331 kW), and torque drops from 390 lb·ft (530 N·m) to 380 lb·ft (520 N·m) due to the upgrades. The Boss's redline is increased to 7500 rpm, but has been verified stable up to 8400.[17]
F-150 Variant[edit]

The F150 5.0L receives a lower compression ratio (10.5:1), intake camshafts with less duration, cast iron exhaust manifolds, and revised cylinder heads and intake manifold (color change only, no difference in size or shape) intended to promote low-end and mid-range power and torque. The engine retains the Coyote's forged steel crank and piston-cooling jets but benefits from the addition of an external engine oil cooler similar to the Boss 302's. The changes result in the engine's peak horsepower dropping to 385 hp (287 kW; 390 PS) while torque is rated at 387 lb·ft (525 N·m).[18]
