Ford's 2011 F-150 to come with a kick

EcoBoost V6 engine to top a 5.0-liter V8, Ford contends
Detroit Free Press 09/21/2010
Ford said Monday that the turbocharged V6 engine in its 2011 F-150 pickup will produce an estimated 365 horsepower, or more than the 5.0-liter V8 engine... The 3.5-liter engine, made in Brook Park, Ohio, also has a towing capacity of 11,300 pounds -- the most of any engine planned for the 2011 F-150 -- and 420 pound-feet of torque... Mark Grueber, Ford's F-150 marketing manager, acknowledged in an interview last week that many customers are skeptical that a V6 engine can deliver the power they expect from a full-size pickup.
