There are a bunch of people on the Mustang site, S197, seems a lot of people are digging the ecoboost on the F150. I drove the Explorer sport with the ecoboost, plenty of power for that truck, but I didn't tow anything with it.

It seems the guys that never tow are happy overall with the EB. The ones that tow wish they had gotten a V8. That's why I talked my buddy out of it. I know he plans to tow his car to the track.

I do hate to burst bubbles, but the 6.2 liter 16-valve VCT Boss V-8 will not make into the refreshed 2015 Expedition.

The Boss V-8 has been dropped from the 2015 F-150. Product plans are to use the engine for enthusiast applications only, so it will have limited usage. It will return when the redesigned SVT Raptor bow for 2016 or 2017, based on the new 2015 F-150.

The Expedition is slated to receive a variety of powertrain systems over the next few years. An all-new fourth generation Expedition (aluminium) will arrive in two to three years, around 2017 for the 2018 model year.

Powertrain systems proposed:

-engines-

3.7 liter 24-valve Ti-VCT "Cyclone" V-6

3.5 liter 24-valve Ti-VCT "Cyclone" V-6

3.5 liter 24-vavle "EcoBoost" V-6

2.7 liter 24-valve "EcoBoost" V-6 (new engine, power rating has not been released yet)

5.0 liter 32-valve DOHC Ti-VCT "Coyote" V-8

3.0 liter 24-valve DOHC Commonrail Direct Injection "Lion" V-6 twin-turbo diesel (revived, still in development)

-gearboxes-

6-speed 6R80 intelligent automatic

6-speed 6R80 SelectShift intelligent manumatic

10-speed 10R80 SelectShift intelligent manumatic

-other-

Parallel hybrid electric-drive combined with unknown engine


Some of those engines might not show up until after the Expedition is redesigned for 2017.
