Yes, it will be the new 2.7 ecoboost

where is that 2.7 getting its power from. Its supposed to bridge the gap between the 3.7 and the 5.0. Its not meant to compete with the 3.0 ecodiesel. Maybe with gas mileage but definitely not power.

Ford is not going the diesel way in a half ton. Their 2.7 eco will (hopefully) get similar MPG, less torque, more HP, and much lower price. Add up all the pros and cons and you should get an engine which is competitive, just not a mirror of it.

Well i think them getting rid of the best engine was a mistake. But i dont think their 2.7 is going to be a good engine. Considering their 3.5 still has problems

the 2.7 is going to be the best engine they have ever had. Power, economy, durability, and price. Diesels are expensive and require a lot of maintenance plus def fluid.

If I were to buy a 2015 it would definitley be a 2.7. If ny 3.7 can tow 5000 lbs and haul 1400 lbs of building materials, I'm pretty sure the 2.7 will exceed the needs of most 1/2 ton owners. Majority of 1/2 ton drivers don't even use their truck as a truck.

so your saying the engine thats going to bridge the gap between the 3.7 v6 and the 5.0 v8 is going to be the most powerful engine ford has. Wrong. It goes 3.7 2.7 5.0 then 3.5. The 2.7 is the midline v6 tt.

He never said that. He said it would be the best (when you add up all the pros and cons.) Biggest or most powerful isn't always best. Even if the 6.2 and eco were the same price, I have a feeling more people would have bought the eco considering the advantages. Other than you, very few thought that the 6.2 was the best engine and the sales numbers show that.

what will they do with the raptor? No one wants a big truck that doesnt sound like anything good.
