If the Expedition had the following engine options, which would you choose?

[smo0othride]

6.2L v8 411 hp 434 lb-ft 14/18 mpg
5.4L v8 320 hp 365 lb-ft 14/18
5.4L v8 supercharged 380hp 450 lb-ft 13/17mpg
3.7L V6 twin turbo charged 340hp 340lb-ft 16/23mpg

I forgot to include the diesel in the poll (poll fixed by admin 12-23-09)
4.4L Diesel 330 hp 520 lb-ft ~16/22mpg

All of these engines have been in the f150 or the 2011 f100.

I'm pretty disappointed how the Expedition only has 1 engine option.

I like the mpg's of the V6, but i'd be embarrassed to say I had it. If the 6.2 and the 5.4 both get the same mileage, and more power goes to the 6.2 I'd say 6.2L.

How could you live with yourself with a V6 Expedition. What's next, a 4 door Mustang? lol.

 

[smo0othride]

The 6.2L really does get the same mpg as the 5.4L. Yeah it would be embarassing to say you're sporting a v6, but it does make more hp and better mpg then the 5.4L.. good for people who use it as a family car

I agree, 6.2 liter all the way, even if it got 1-2 mpg less, the hp ratings are worth it to me.

For everyday use, the 6.2L. But if you want to have some fun, the 5.4L supercharged. I had a Harley Davidson F150 with the Lightning engine and that was a blast, and you could pulley it to get a lot more out of it. I had it up to 400 HP and 484 lb/ft at the wheels (probably around 500 at the crank), and that was a pretty safe level for the engine.

one caveat

voted for the 5.4 supercharged engine but one caveat. Change the coil design and make the plugs more accessible.

diesel is my pick,but i talked to my ford guy we'll never see it .
just bought a 09 taurus limited all black, nice car

 

[Stoned06]

Now that the diesel is in the poll, I might have to change my choice! lol. Would be nice to have that for towing my boat.

 

[smo0othride]

I can't believe how much torque the diesel has, that would be a towing beast. I think it's funny how nobody has voted for the engine the expedition actually comes with. I got my numbers a little mixed up on that one - the 2010 Expedition 5.4 has 310hp and 365lb-ft but the 2010 Raptor's 5.4L has 320hp and 390lb-ft.

I'd take the diesel. I like my 5.4L, but the towing power of the diesel with a big SUV would be great especially since the Excursion is not made anymore.
