It’s true. The best never rest. Our latest proof point: an all-new, 2nd-generation 3.5L EcoBoost® engine 1 that delivers 629 N•m of net torque. 2 Across the speed range, that torque is the same or better than the previous 3.5L EcoBoost. Equally noteworthy: This all-new engine is teamed with an all-new, Ford built, 10-speed SelectShift®automatic transmission 1 for exceptional driveability.

With improved acceleration, plus better low-end and peak performance, our most advanced EcoBoost engine yet is exactly what’s needed for hauling heavy loads and towing heavy trailers. To optimize fuel usage, standard Auto Start-Stop Technology can shut off the engine when the truck comes to a complete stop. Tuned for truck applications, it will not intervene in tow/haul mode, 4-wheel drive (4WD), or other circumstances that require the engine to drive essential components.

A new dual injection system features both direct injection and port fuel injection. Two injectors per cylinder – one mounted in the intake port where air enters and another positioned inside the cylinder – work together to improve power output and efficiency, and reduce emissions. A dual-chain cam drive , with less complexity than the single serpentine chain it replaces, helped to reduce weight and overall NVH of the 2nd-generation 3.5L EcoBoost engine. An all-new roller-finger follower valvetrain features more durable intake and exhaust valves, and hydraulic valve- lash adjusters that optimize engine durability over the life of the truck. All-new twin turbochargers deliver more boost thanks to improved turbos and a lighter turbine wheel. New turbos work seamlessly with electric-activated wastegates, enhancing operating efficiency. And the lighter turbine wheel, made of high-temperature super alloy Mar-M-247– developed by the aerospace industry – improves responsiveness. A more robust lower-end structure – upgraded crankshaft, bearing system, and beefier connecting rod undercuts – helped engineers significantly increase the output of the 3.5L EcoBoost.
