I'm one who removes some badging. So I personally would not add badging back on. I love my 5.0. I had the 5.4 and did not care for it. I had 2013 5.7 hemi. I like my 5.0.
What bugs me is that after reading Car & Driver this month. They said Ford is going to be phasing out the 5.0 in the next year or so for the F150. That bums me out. I got the 5.0 primarily so I could get the plow package option. If that goes away, not sure what I'll do come 2018 upgrade time.

5.0 accounts for less than 36% of sales apparently... https://media.ford.com/content/fordm...1-million.html
As for the OP, the reason the engine makes more power in the Mustang is because they made changes to try to improve the torque at lower rpm and in doing so that limited the hp at higher rpm.

Good analogy. I think the 5.0 still accounts for 50% of F150 sales. Ford just markets the EBs like crazy because they've invested so much in the technology.
The 5.0 is the daughter who stays in to do homework, while the EBs are out getting "floored" by every dude in the town haha

This article seems to agree until the bold part at the bottom...

If either of the ecoboosts sounded like the 5.0, this discussion would be moot. Hell im a mustang guy, but I opted for the 2.7. Sound alone isn't good enough anymore.
Having said that, Ford is going to have to work on the 5.0 as the new Camaro is running rings around it. It's got to be more power because the chasis was new last year.
