I’d imagine a 6.2L with dual overhead cams and direct injection like the new 5.0 would be an absolute monster.....oh well I’ll leave this 13th gen thread to you 13th geners lol.

I was always a V8 guy, but I was impressed with Ford's effort to come up with something different to try and be more efficient. I bought a 2012 3.5L Ecoboost new and it more than proved itself. I did have to have the turbos replaced under warranty, but I believe you have to give them a chance to work out some bugs. When I traded for my 2018 I went with the 2.7L with the same mindset. Although I thought a lot about sticking with the 3.5L or even going to the 5.0L. In the end the 2.7L rates about the same as my 2012 did in HP and Torque. The only thing I lost was about 3,000 lbs towing that I didn't really need anyway. I'm very happy with the 2.7L and I love the increase in gas mileage over the 3.5L about 4-5mpg on average.
I have the 2018 5.0 rattler edition,
I bought this engine over the 3.5 eco because of the sound.
Sounded good stock, installed a Borla S type and sounds absolutely awesome now.( the Borla also helps to drown out all the unsettling noises that Ford says are normal )
Not knocking the turbo motors, I think they are pretty great, but damn this 5.0 sounds good.
Every morning I can't wait to start this thing !

I told this story back in '15, when I first test drove a 2.7 F150 thinking it was some kind of sick joke, and Ford had lost their mind.
Had the truck for a weekend, and I don't think I stopped giggling for the first hour, and repeated out loud to myself several times during the test drive; "are you kidding me!!"
On my second 2.7 F150 since that fateful day. Absolutely still in love with this engine! Checks every box for me, and makes me smile every day.
