Ford's news about its EcoBoost engine for the F-150 was overshadowed by the introduction of the latest Super Duty models so let us expound on that a bit. Ford didn´t reveal many details about the new turbocharged, direct injection mill. The 3.5-liter V6 engine is similar to what was used in Ford's front-wheel drive models. However, it was modified to accommodate a rear-wheel drive layout. Ford explained that its EcoBoost technology was optimized for truck applications, meaning there should be tons of torque with a peak that starts at the lower end of the rpm scale and continues on through the midrange. With regards to fuel economy, Ford said that the EcoBoost engine will have a 20% improvement. Carbon emissions are also reduced compared to a similarly powerful naturally aspirated engine.
