The Ford F-150 (http://www.autoblog.com/model/f-150) is getting a lineup of four all-new engines for the 2011 model year that includes two V6s and two V8s. According to Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/make/ford/), the entire new engine family will be more fuel efficient than the outgoing 4.6-liter and 5.4-liter V8 by at least 20 percent.

The same 3.7-liter V6 and 5.0-liter V8 found in the 2011 Mustang (http://www.autoblog.com/model/mustang) will be available at launch this fall in the F-150, as will the 6.2-liter V8 from the 2011 Super Duty (http://www.autoblog.com/model/super+duty) truck. Then, early in 2011, the F-150 will be the first rear-wheel-drive application of the much praised 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6.

The base 3.7-liter V6 will be rated at 300 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque while yielding a 6,100-pound towing capacity, which matches the Silverado (http://www.autoblog.com/model/silverado) hybrid. The 3.7 liter will be offered in the XL, XLT and STX trim levels only. The high volume engine is expected to be the new 5.0-liter V8, which you can read more about after the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/08/11/ford-f-150-engines-for-2011-announced-includes-ecoboost-v6/#continued).
