Default Disappointing Auto Show

Went to the Auto Show in Minneapolis yesterday and was very disappointed. There was only 1 2015 F-150 there, a grey XLT Screw with ugly wheels! To top it off the show guy who talked about it didn't seem to know crap about it. He said there is no available data on the 2.7 liter yet! We all know it completed the Baja so how can there be no available data! I just figured they have at least 2 or 3 trucks to look at and maybe at least a little bit of literature or something.

Thanks. You saved me a trip. That was the only reason I was thinking of going. Plus my work offered free tickets

The 2.7L power numbers haven't been released yet.

This is the info I got from in the newest motor trend. There's a typo though, they seem to have swapped the 3.5l and the 5.0info

Hey Hardcore, welcome to the club!
I took a day off work to go on purpose to the Toronto Show. I wanted to get in one of those and take millions of pics and make as many questions. Guess what? As soon as I got in i went straight to Ford's spot to find a Platinum and a XLT on top of a rotating platform absolutely out of reach of all those who paid well to be there! Disappointed I dragged myself around the show for 1/2h more and decided to leave. What's the point of showing off a car and not allowing us to get in? It wears thin with too much rubbing?

Ford, marketing is not only pics on websites or magazines!

That's MT's estimated power numbers. They seem to always be fairly close, and those numbers seem bang on for the 2.7. And to think, the 5.4L from a few years ago had the same power. Hell, that 2.7's torque is within 13 ft lbs of Chevy's last gen 5.3L!
