I don't think that's true the 3.5 EcoBoost will be the top engine in the 2015 F-150 and the 6.2 will be gone for the 2015 F-150.Engine lineup will be 3.5L N/A,2.7L EcoBoost,5.0 and 3.5L EcoBoost.

Later Mark.

A lot of people are getting away from the overly complex 6.7L diesel.as far as fuel economy goes on 6.2L my wife get a little over 16 in the city. FX4 super crew with 3.55's

My wife's FX4 will hand the ecoboost it's ass in a paper sack. Freakin truck with that 6.2L is amazing.its like a 4dr lightning. I think the engine is cool a shit too.

Motor & Trend did a F-150 Test October 2011.The 6.2 is rated at 411 Horsepower but made 329 Horsepower and 335 lb.ft. of Torque at the rear wheels.The EcoBoost is rated at 365 Horsepower and made 316 Horsepower and 344 lb.ft. of Torque at the rear wheels.I'm sure the 6.2 feels stronger on the top end but doesn't make as much torque down low as the EcoBoost.If you look at rear wheel numbers from Flywheel numbers the 6.2 is down 82 horsepower.Where the EcoBoost is down only 49 horsepower.

                                                                                                                                                      Maybe, but which one will get the best gas mileage on 87 octane, last longer and tow more, is what most truck buyer's want to know? I would like to see a 5.4-5.8 NA engine that does it all, and not worry about a few HP. 300-400HP in a 1/2 ton is plenty, and the 5.3's from the other brand seem to have it covered I hate to say. Ford should take note, I think. The 5.0 maybe the ticket, just make one a tad larger, and stick with it, and quit introducing different engines all the time. Ford should have done this with the 351's back in the day also.
