Now imagine the 2.7 with an 8 speed auto! Better performance AND better fuel mileage. I'm hanging on to my 6 speed 3.5 until the new tranny comes along. I think the 2.7 will be enough for me; towing a 5,500 lb RV trailer.

You mad bro? Relax. Also you wanna know whats more relevant? Your driving style. So your argument is moot. Who cares if it gets 2 mpg more? What does that save you in a year ?
I like that I got under your skin though, enough for you to go into freak out mode,lol.

The engine will carry over, but that doesn't mean the #'s will stay the same. Mike says the 3.5 EB numbers will be announced soon.

As for the 5.0, to keep with the aluminum theme, they should use the Aluminator engines
. The Aluminator XS could be a nice engine upgrade to the 6.2 for a new Raptor.

While we, as individuals, are entitled to our opinions, in the long term they don't matter. This is not a put-down of any opinions, just an explanation of how things work.
So, the market will prevail, and people are going to vote with their wallets as to whether Ford should continue to support the V-8 engine.
I'm an agnostic on the V-8 matter, but with essentially the same hp as the 5.0 and 40 ft/lbs more torque at a lower rpm, you can see why people are going V-6 Eco. And the new 2.7 Eco will shift even more people away from a V-8. And that is just the way it is.

(that said, my next truck will most likely have an EB in it...the truck I have now was a leftover, it just happened to have the 5.0, if it had had the EB I still would have bought it)

And 43% were V8's, probably 33+% of total were the 5.0. The V8 will stick around because it is the second most popular option behind the EB (and considering lots of people buy what is on the lot, it is fairly easy to skew the numbers by allocating more EB's to dealers than 5.0's...I know when I got my last oil change, there were a lot of EB's and not many 5.0's, when I asked the sales manager, he said the 5.0's they can get tend to sell and once those are gone people buy what is left. It isn't entirely up to the dealer what they get to order. (that said, my next truck will most likely have an EB in it...the truck I have now was a leftover, it just happened to have the 5.0, if it had had the EB I still would have bought it)
U kno i was critical on the 2.7L early on but seeing as ford is not upping the hp on the 3.5L ecoboost i might be tempted to get the 2.7L rather then the 3.5L

However, my truck already has all the acceleration and power I'll ever need. Stock. Drop #700 and I can't even fathom how much faster it'll be.
Hell, I'd even take a power loss if they drop that much weight. I'd like to see an economy tune for city driving when it's stop light after stop light.
