well the engine I would love in the expedition is the 6.8L moudular V10. I love that engine. Would be neat to have a V10 in a 1/2 ton expedition.

Resurrect the 7.3L diesel and then put the manual 6 speed behind it and you will have a tank

I would very much prefer a diesel, but considering that it costs 10-20 cents a litre more than regular gas around here, I'll pass.

Make mine a 6.2 please



...

What's next, a 4 door Mustang? lol.

Yeah, I know, right?


That would almost be as bad as a 4 door Porsche, Ferrari, or Aston Martin sports car... :supergay:








Oh. no, wait.... :wtf::wtf::wtf:

Diesel or either 5.4 variant. The 5.4 just feels perfect in the truck and what it was designed to do. A supercharged version would be nice for an svt expedition, diesel for the tow/work truck crowd and standard 5.4 for the base. I'll be upset if they drop the 5.4 in in this truck as it definitely beats the 5.0 in everything but 0 to 60 (who buys an expedition for this?) and isnt effected by the elements like the eco boost.

Diesel may cost more at the pump but it is a whole lot cheaper to operate in the long run. Would you pay an extra 20 cents per gallon at the pump for 50 percent better mileage?
Diesel engines also have fewer moving parts.

every diesel i have ever torn apart from cats to detroits to cummins to navistar has just as many "moving pieces". think about what moving parts engines have. camshaft, crank, pistons, connecting rods, pushrods, rockers, oil pump, etc. did you know most diesels have a high pressure and a low pressure oil pump? yeah. less moving parts my ass

Diesels have 2 oil systems the low pressure (engine standard system) and high pressure (injectors). Id say its about even if not more "moving parts" in a diesel. Ease of use, longevity, cleaner for environment, torque, and MPG all go to the diesel but youll certainly pay for it.
