2020 F-Series SD gets new V-8-punllle.jpg

Sharp looking truck, but this 2020 release is making me wonder how much different the new Gen 14 F150 is going to look if it's a 2020 launch.

The beauty of pushrods is you can make a more compact engine.....the 6.2L is likely the same size and weight as this new engine. I’m excited, it’s a beautiful engine on paper for the Super Duty. Big displacement is the most economical for a big truck and hauling weight all the time.

Ford engineer said in the new TFL video it will be more efficient than the 6.2/6 combo.

With that front end I’m glad I got a 2019.

I'm with you guys. Too big. Too heavy. The HP they're pushing out of the 5.0 and 5.2FPC/CPC is incredible, but higher in the RPM's. This 7.3 will be a grunt down low I'm sure.

Plus, 7.3L is 445 CI, so it can't be a Boss 429.
