Report: Ford Confirms F-150 to Get EcoBoost V6

After debuting the all-new 2011 F-Series Super Duty yesterday, Ford has now confirmed that the F-150 will be available with the company’s new EcoBoost motor. Specific details aren’t yet available but Ford says the engine will be tuned specifically for truck applications, which we imagine means upping the torque and turning down the horsepower.

Currently, the twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine appears in the Taurus SHO model and in the Flex. In the SHO it makes 365hp and 350 ft-lbs of torque – 300 of which is available from just 1500 rpm.

The F-150 EcoBoost will be available in late 2010 as a 2011 model.
