It's probably going to just be a version of the Triton. They need to learn that they are just not going to get the power the want out of a simple DOHC engine. Look at GM and Chrylser's V8s they're pushrod. Maybe they should take a look at their competion and see why they are getting their a&&es kicked in the performance arena.

Most likely. Ford is cheap like that. They're really losing a lot to the Hemi.

A hurricane is more powerful than it is fast. Think before you type.

I doubt they'll go as far as to make another engine. They'll probably bring the 5.4 up to 330hp or something. The current 5.4 has no balls.

I'm a fan of some Ford vehicles and a fan of some Dodge vehicles. I am also a fan of some Chevy vehicles and a fan of some Chrysler vehicles. I am what some would say a true all-around fan of cars...period!! I don't close myself off from all vehicles. Wait, I think I hate all Yugos. Oh!! Anything Daewoo too, I hate those. Remember, trucks are for pulling (torque) not maintaining (horsepower).

It's named "Hurricane" because it will be the most powerful truck engine available in it's class!!

So in other words, you have no conviction? Wishy washy people like this bug me, sorry SRT. But pick something, anything.
Will Ford's Hurricane engine be a Hemi fighter? It would if it was on the market now, but by the time it is ready, the next Gen Hemi will probably be putting out more power. Plus, the current F150 is heavy, so I'm not sure a more powerful engine (in an extended or crew cab form) is going to make it much faster than a Hemi. The F150 isn't built for speed - I think Ford gave up on that with the new truck design and discontinuing of SVT. They are focusing on selling trucks that are big, heavy, and are meant to tow. Thats fine and dandy, but people buy trucks for different reasons. Some people tow, others offroad, others race, others haul kids.
Personally, I'd be more worried about the 07 Silverado on the GMT900 platform than I would about this Ford engine in "development." Chevy engines, in my opinion, are more responsive than Ford Tritons. Plus, GM (being that it is losing money) has a lot of motivation to make a bad a$$ truck that sells - so they can try to get profitable again. Ford can sit back and rely on their core base of truck buyers, and shell out work truck models to fleets all day long.
