The upcoming 2017 Ford F-150 will be available with an exciting new engine option that serves as further evidence of Ford's continued commitment to excellence and innovation. According to a recent press release, the 2017 F-150 will offer a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 engine that generates a segment-best 470 pound-feet of torque, more than many V-8 engines with nearly twice the displacement.
The new power plant will be paired exclusively with the first volume-production 10-speed automatic transmission, allowing for improved acceleration and performance over the standard six-speed options. Furthermore, enhanced low-end and peak performance delivers better hauling and towing capabilities.
“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 2017 Ford F-150 rolls into dealerships across the country this fall.
