Default Ford

Dont get me wrong I will always no matter what buy ford!! But with that being said ford needs to get with the market. By that I mean HI performance. I get a lot of people worry about economy but what about us that don't care. Bring the 6.2 back, direct inject it and make a sport 150, drop a 3.5 Eco in a fusion, and why is the 662 hp REAL Shelby on the shelf? Who cares about towing in a half ton, that's why I own diesels, but ford make me a truck that I drool over!!!

I agree with you! I would love a 2015 with the 6.2! That would be nuts! BUT this isn't ford. It's the EPA creating fuel and emissions requirements for automakers. Ford's solution is the ecoboost which supposedly uses less fuel and does produce less emissions but still is a power house. Ford could go with a diesel like RAM for better MPGS but Ford realizes most people still want the fun, hence the ecoboost. It's a compromise between sport and economy. Sadly I fear beautiful V8's such as the 6.2 Ford or GM will very soon be a thing of the past.

This really doesn't need to be in the 2015 forum.

The 662HP/5.8 does not fit into the new mustang. Sure it would fit into the F150 but i doubt there would be enough of a market to make it worth while. Probley the same thing with the 6.2 not enough market for it.

Ford doesnt need people to "drool" over their trucks, they need people to buy them.
What do people want? Towing capabilities, DD-abilities and fuel economy without the added cost of diesel = EB or 5.0.

With the exception of a few special models, new cars / trucks are about marketing and sales, not passion or anything else.

The 6.2 is a good engine for the Superduty but it's antiquated for the F-150. Heavy iron block, 2 valves per cylinder etc. For all intensive purposes the 5.0 makes 440hp in the Mustang without forced induction so I think it has much more N/A potential. Let it die.
