Ford F-150 V-6 Engines Continue to Outsell V-8s and the Competition

How hot is the F-150 Ford EcoBoost V-6? The 365-horsepower, 3.5-liter twin-turbo is outselling all other competitors combined six-cylinder trucks, Ford said.

Ford 302 hp, 3.7-liter V-6 is also outselling the size of six-cylinder competitors Chevrolet, GMC, Dodge and Toyota. Both engines accounted for 79.5 percent market share of V-6 full-size trucks sold in July, according to sales data from JD Power and Associates.

Behind are the Chevy Silverado Ford (12.1 percent market share), GMC Sierra (4 percent), Ram trucks (3.5 percent) and Toyota Tundra (0.9 percent).

F-Series sales in July led, selling 49,104 units, with the EcoBoost that make up 40 percent of them and the 3.7-liter that make up 16 percent. Ford V-6 models surpassing its V-8 for the third consecutive month, something that had not happened since 1985. So far this year, Ford sales were up 8 percent to 313,183 units.

"Our two new plants V-6 power are changing the way customers think about truck engines," said Doug Scott, Ford truck group marketing, said in a statement. "The 3.7-liter has more power than two of the three V-8 engines, we offered last year F-150. The 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 engine at 365 HP and 420 lb-ft of torque, is in a class by itself - no one has anything even close to the engine, can tow up to £ 11.300 and deliver 22 mpg. "

We are fans of the two new six-cylinder mills. We chose the naturally aspirated 3.7-liter V-6 that our work truck Shootout winner and two F-150s EcoBoost 2,000 miles to find the 3.5-liter twin-turbo direct-injection petrol engine offers excellent economy Fuel unloaded and V-8-like performance coupled with a trailer.

This seems right I do not see toyota lossing market share on the tundra V6 10 people bought one this year another 10 next year, while the tundra is only the third best V6 (4th next year, when Ram inrtoduces the new V6). Ford was the first (EcoBoost) and second (3.7L) and GM trucks are just a more popular brand and Nissan does not offer everthing seems fair. Now that I think Tom is a Ranger with a sort of right but they will lose some selling, but not because of rising prices, but to do so Rams new V6 Toyota will sell only five years.

Those look like the same V6 Sales% 's I counted from the report a week or two ago. Kudos to Ford, they found a small niche at the moment. Not sure it'ill be sufficient for the new EPA guidelines.

For a company that does not want to be known as a custom shop, Auto Body Anderson Bros, West Sacramento, California, you do not have a lot of custom trucks. We put their monocoque extended cab Chevy on the cover last year and have included two of their trucks since then. Two of them were bagged and another was lifted, but it takes a more traditional way with a drop of static.

Since the bill went down with a static class, it was appropriate that he went with a traditional set of flames on the basis of Sikkens white.
