Ugh another why isn't there a V8 thread:
Some facts:
Ford has meet CAFE Fleet regulations that keep getting harder/stricker to meet over time. GM and FCA buy credits from Tesla (which is major reason why they are still in business, because they aren't turning a profit on their car sales) to offset their CAFE issues they have.
Last time I checked over 60-70% of F-150 sales are V6 sales..between the 3.3L, 2.7L and 3.5L Ecoboost engines. I believe at least 50% or better of Mustang sales are Ecoboost I4 engines.
If FCA decides to drop the V8 in a Wrangler, the rumored Warthog setup-the 3.0L Ecoboost PHEV puts out 494HP and 600Ftlb in a non performance tune in the Lincoln Aviator. Your not going to be able to beat the instant torque you can get from an electric motor.
