2009 Ford F-150 – Click above for the high-res image gallery<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n


\n\"\"Ford<\/a> hasn’t offered a V6 option in the F-150<\/a> since its best-selling truck was redesigned for the 2009 model year, but a report from our friend Mike Levine over at Pickuptrucks.com<\/a> says that’s about to change. Levine cites sources at the Blue Oval who say the same Ti-VCT 3.7-liter V6 (shown at right) that will power the 2011 Mustang<\/a> and Lincoln MKX<\/a> will also be found under the hood of the F-150 by the end of the year. Levine tells us that the 3.7 will likely only be added to the XL and STX models, though there is a chance that the XLT could also get some fuel-sipping love. A V6 pickup will likely be a big hit with fleet customers as well as buyers who love trucks but don’t use them for towing or hauling.<\/p>\n

The sources didn’t quote power numbers, but since the Lincoln MKX version will reportedly produce the same 305 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque as the one used in the Mustang, there is a good chance that Ford will simply copy and paste the same mill under the hood of the smallest F-Series. If the 3.7 does find its way into the F-150, we’ll be very interested to see the official EPA fuel economy numbers. We can’t see a 23 or 24 miles per gallon full size pickup with up to 305 hp being a bad thing. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
