Engine choices haven't been announced, but Ford has said that its popular 5.4L V8 will be offered. The FX2, a two wheel drive vehicle, will complement an existing off road model, the FX4. Ford builds more versions of its full sized pick up truck than any other manufacturer in the world.
Yes, the FX2 is another part of Ford's "Bold Moves" promotional campaign. While the new model is based on an existing truck, it does something that Ford is finally learning to do right: listen to its consumers. With the 2007 F-150 FX2, it appears that Ford has responded with certainty.
In the F-150, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine delivers 365 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque providing a towing capability of 11,300 lbs combined an EPA rating of 16 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway. Ford says the turbocharged V6 increases fuel economy up to 20 percent and cuts carbon dioxide emissions up to 15 percent over a comparable naturally aspirated V8 engine.
Ford plans to introduce more turbocharged engines across its lineup within the next two years aiming to produce up to 1.5 million EcoBoost engines globally in a variety of vehicles.
