Ford of North America has announced the planned introduction of an EcoBoost engine for its F150 trucks. EcoBoost is the new turbo technology employed by Ford for a range of its upper-class models and will soon be experienced in smaller cars as well.
No details were given but the EcoBoost most likely to make the F150 cut is the 3.5-litre V6 which should offer more low-down torque for the purposes of trucks applications. Under normal circumstances the V6 does 261kW (355hp) and 475Nm between 1500rpm and 5250rpm which is quite ideal for a pickup truck. The power will probably have to be detuned though.
