You CAN'T get a V8 on a 2015 or newer Expy. Funny, Chevy, Dodge, Toyota, and Nissan still offer V8s in all of their large SUVs, go figure
There is a rumor of a normally aspirated Windsor 6.8 L V8 for the 2022 F150. Could it be Ford is seeing the error of their ways?Yes, I see your point, and I have seen the specs, and I know Ford has published that it does provide more torque, HP, Payload and Towing capacity. I do understand the concept on turbocharged engines, in that the turbocharger pressurizes the air going into the intake, giving you more power and torque. My concern is internal parts the engine that takes stress, mainly the crankshaft, the connecting rods, and the pistons. These individual parts in the V6 must now absorb approximately 25% more stress than the V8 did, especially during heavy acceleration, or when towing. Now I'm not an engineer, but I do have a working knowledge on how they work. My concern is this added stress will cause these parts to wear out faster, I could be wrong, but there must be a reason why Chevy, Dodge, Nissan, Toyota, and other automakers still offer V8s in their SUVs. My argument is why doesn't Ford at least offer a V8, give the customer the option to choose a V6 or a V8.
