FYI - 2015 Ford Expedition to get 3.5 liter EcoBoost V-6

Post updated to reflect recent product changes. The refreshed 2015 Expedition will not be getting the 5.0 Coyote V-8. Instead it will get the 3.5 EcoBoost V-6.

Hopefully Ford will resolve any paint defects, if not, the F-150 will suffer the same. Both vehicles will use more aluminium for body panels - doors, fenders, etc.

The 3.5 liter EcoBoost V-6 is going to the Lincoln Navigator. No more V-8 power for the Navigator. Lincoln will offer its SUV with a duo of V-6 engines.

Only the Expedition will get a V-8.

It’s definitely getting the 5.0.



So far the engine line-up looks like this:

2015 Expedition – 5.0 Ti-VCT V-8

2015 Navigator - 3.5 EcoBoost V-6

The 3.7 Ti-VCT V-6 is being mulled over as an entry level motor for both SUVs.

EcoBoost in the Navigator? Seems like that could hurt sales, not help them! Personally, I would think that the EcoBoost would sell better in the Expedition.

But then again, everyone I know with the EcoBoost in an F150 wishes they had gotten the V8!

Ford has confirmed the next Expedition will get the 5.0 liter 32-valve Ti-VCT V-8 engine. A 10-speed automatic transmission is also in the works, though the SUV is expected to launch with the current 6-speed automatic transmission.

It will stay body-on-frame (BOF) and is expected to use more aluminium in its construction to lighten weight.

The 3.7 liter 32-valve Ti-VCT V-6 engine could be offered as the standard entry-level engine, making the 5.0 liter V-8 a premium option.


Will post more info as it becomes available...

Awesome!!

That should give it a healthy bump in performance with better fuel milage as well.

The 5.0 also responds well to mods!!! :flamingdevil:

Soccer moms don't want diesels!! :hidesbehindsofa:

I would have to disagree. I see plenty of women(including soccer moms) driving diesel powered trucks. I think if you tell tell them they are going to get 25+ mpg's, they would buy them.
