All new 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 engine in 2017 Ford F-150 boasts 375bhp

Ford, America's truck leader, continues its relentless pace of innovation, delivering segment leading torque for 2017 F-150 customers with the all new 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 engine and 10-speed automatic transmission. 

The new second generation 3.5-litre EcoBoost engine will provide 68Nm more peak torque compared with the first generation 3.5-litre EcoBoost engine, to a segment-best 637Nm, beating all diesel- and gasoline-powered competitors, including V8 engines with nearly twice the displacement of the EcoBoost V6. Horsepower jumps 10bhp from the previous version, to 375bhp.

"The 2017 Ford F-150 now delivers the best torque in the segment," says Raj Nair, Ford Executive Vice President, Product Development, and Chief Technical Officer. "This class leading torque arrives with a transformative 10-speed automatic that improves nearly every aspect of F-150 performance."

The 3.5-litre EcoBoost in the 2017 F-150 is paired exclusively with the first volume production 10-speed automatic transmission available to consumers from any automaker. The more capable powertrain combination will deliver improved acceleration and performance compared with previous six-speed automatic transmissions. The new engine provides better low-end and peak engine performance, ideal for hauling heavy payloads and towing heavy trailers.

The new 3.5-litre EcoBoost engine builds on the success of the 2.7-litre EcoBoost engine and first generation 3.5-litre EcoBoost engine available for the 2016 F-150. The 2.7-litre and first generation 3.5-litre EcoBoost engines account for approximately 60 percent of F-150 sales.

The Ford F-150 remains the first and only truck in its segment to offer a twin-turbo gasoline engine. The 2017 Ford F-150 goes on sale this fall in the U.S.
