At least the Mustangs sound safe for now to keep the 5.0.

It should be better in every way but I imagine there are many fans of the way Coyote and 5.0 roll off the tongue when talking about their trucks.
I have an eco so I don't bring up displacement much. ha

Are we reading the same article? It said nothing about the F150 or the future of the V8 in the F150. The entire article was about the Stang with an update that said there is doubt that the 5.0 is even going away.

More power, better fuel economy. Don't see why anyone would complain

Update to article says it is BS...

Update 4:40 p.m. ET: An R&T source inside Ford has cast heavy doubt on this ever happening.

Don't shoot the messenger, I was just sharing and since it was a reputable magazine I thought there may be some legitimacy to it.

Also the update is that the Mustang won't get the 4.8.
but Road and Track and Rueters, both reputable, state the F150 will get the new V8.
Read the Rueters article about the new Canadian motor plant and 4.8

That's fine. More power V8 is all Coyote fans care about
