Ron.Bumpus Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 You see all the stories on the internet, is this going to be a possibility? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I've seen those rumors as well, which made me debate whether or not to wait a year. I decided to go ahead anyway because I imagine that there be some additional changes within two years. If the changes are significant enough, I'll go ahead and upgrade.

meyeste Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 i dont see it happening after they put all the money into the new 3.5 ecoboost. Apparently dollars have also been put into the 5.0 ecoboost... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krotz31 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 A 5.0 eco would be insane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twintornados Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 To amortize the cost, that V8 could go into Expedition/Navigator as well.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meyeste Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 So the rumor now is a 7.0L DOHC being developed for the superduty line (will it be an SOHC for superduties?) will also be produced in a performance configuration for the GT500 and the Raptor and even possibly higher grade F150's. I think it makes sense GM is after all developing a 6.2L DOHC and I believe it makes sense for Ford to defend its current status as the top DOHC V8 performance manufacturer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 That's an interesting rumor. I haven't heard that one yet. It will be interesting to see if that one materializes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might be better case for a Coyote based 4.8L EcoBoost twin-turbo V8 which could potentially be shared across many RWD platforms including Raptor, F-150, Super Duty, Expy/Navigator, Mustang GT500 and Ford GT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you completely, Ford would be short sighted if they let GM come out with a DOHC V8 that is far more powerful than anything they've got. I get the lemming drafted cafe ratings and all that. On the other hand the sound of a V8 cranking up in the morning, or the burble while cruising down a country road on a warm summer evening nothing like it. Some people want massagers in their chair, I like the sound of a V8. Frankly I don't get why they don't simply use the 6.2L but that's their business not mine, give me a V8 I'm happy to pay for it. Sometimes the intangible that really sells vehicles is hard to identify, (ie a roomy sporty car with in your face styling is apparently what sold the Zeta Camaro, people didn't really care about performance) the sound of the 6.2L in the Raptor was one of those "intangibles". A Raptor is "in your face" and even though the TT3.5L in it is one awesome engine, it's just not in your face enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Without a doubt, I miss the V8 sound. That is my only knock on the truck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meyeste Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) It would be awesome if it's true! The coming OHC 7.0L is a fact there have been press releases on it, also that it will go into the super duty trucks is a fact. No word official word on whether the confirmed 7.0L which will be made at the windsor plant is a DOHC or SOHC or the intention for it to find it's way to any other dog houses, one can only hope. However this is a 427 c.i. engine, that hardly seems like a coincidence... Edited June 20, 2017 by meyeste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
