Road Test Review: 2011 Ford F-150 XLT 5.0-liter V-8 Last year, the Ford F-150 offered most buyers a choice of legacy two-valve and three-valve 4.6-liter V-8 engines or a three-valve 5.4-liter V-8. While those engines got the job done, they weren?t known for power or performance. This year, Ford has totally revamped the F-150?s powertrain lineup with three all-new advanced engines, plus wider availability of the 6.2-liter V-8 that was previously limited to the 2010 F-150 SVT Raptor. We've extensively tested the 6.2 in the Raptor and the new entry-level 3.7-liter V-6 during our six-cylinder Work Truck Shootout. We've also spent several hours towing and piloting the novel twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6, the F-150?s top-of-the-line towing engine. But our time with the fresh 5.0-liter V-8 was limited to a brief drive and drag race in Texas last year. That?s no longer the case. A 2011 F-150 XLT SuperCrew 5.0 4x4 showed up in our driveway last Tuesday, and we wasted no time putting it through its paces. In less than a week, we drove it 800 miles ? 622 miles of which it towed a 9,000-pound conventional tandem axle horse trailer. Snap judgment? This could be the best all-around engine ever offered in the F-150 ? at least until EcoBoost?s early adopters can confirm that mill?s reliability and efficiency in real-world use.

They were impressed with its no-charge heat and air conditioning vents for each of the three rows. Other features they were taken with: the elbow-high bottle holders that are easy for kids to reach, Easy Fuel® Capless Fuel Filler and available refrigerated 2nd-row console, all of which they said made Flex, "... the ultimate in cruising comfort." |
