The Ford F-150 Engine Lineup For 2010

The F-150 is by far the most popular variant in Fords legendary F-Series

. Introduced in 1975, the Ford F-150 has continued to be one of Americas most popular trucks while also continuing to provide bar-setting innovation. Now in its twelfth vehicle generation, industry experts dont expect much to change with the arrival of the 2010 Ford F-150.

This is a truck beloved by the consumers, but more than that, the critics universally praise it as well. A great deal of that praise starts with the 2010 F-150 engine lineup, which is a slight tweak to the all-new F-150 engine lineup that Ford introduced for the 2009 model year. The V6 engines are gone, and in their place are three primary V8 choices.

4.6 L V8 F-150 Engine (2 versions)

The base 4.6 L 2-valve F-150 engine generates 248 horsepower at 4750 rpm and 293 pound-feet of torque at 4000 rpm. Tests have placed this engines zero to 60 mph performance at approximately 8.5 seconds. In addition to the base engine, there is a 3-valve high output version, a 4.6 L 3V F-150 engine, available that provides 292 horsepower at 5700 rpm and 320 pound-feet of torque at 4000 rpm. Ford pairs the base F-150 engine with a 4-speed automatic transmission while they mate the high output F-150 engine to the highly fuel efficient 6-speed automatic.

5.4 L 3V V8 F-150 Engine (2 versions)

The 5.4 L 3V F-150 engine is the standard engine that Ford includes with the F-150 SVT Raptor, a dedicated off-roader, and like the high output 4.6 L, Ford mates it to the 6-speed automatic transmission. The base 5.4 L 3V V8 generates 310 horsepower at 5000 rpm, and it provides 365 pound-feet of torque at 3500 rpm. Like the 4.6 L, there is also a high output variant, and this one produces 320 horsepower at 5000 rpm along with 390 pound-feet at 3500 rpm. Consumers can purchase either 5.4 L F-150 engine as an upgrade in the standard Ford F-150.

6.2 L V8 F-150 Engine

If you are the Tim the Tool Man-type seeking More Power!, then the potent 6.2 L Boss engine may be right up your alley. Paired with the 6-speed automatic transmission, this heralded F-150 SVT Raptor engine upgrade will be available publically sometime later in the 2010 model year. This beauteous monster roars out a chest-thumping 411 horsepower, and it supplies 400-pound-feet of torque. Maximum towing capacity on a Raptor with this bad boy will be 11,300 pounds. Although we wont know for sure until its release, the early word from Ford is that the 6.2 L Boss will be available in the SVT Raptor only, and not as an upgrade in the standard F-150. Theres been no word if there will be exceptions, such as for the Harley Davidson model or perhaps the Platinum Series.

While the 2-valve 4.6 L F-150 engine is a little light on the performance side relative to the competition, it comes at a great price, and is the perfect solution for the F-150 owner who uses the truck to get to work, and perhaps for light duty.
