While many truck buyers don’t made the most out of the vehicles, there are plenty of truck buyers that require their vehicle’s hauling, towing, and off-roading capabilities. These drivers, which make up a large portion of Chicago Ford dealers' customers, wouldn’t think of trading in their trucks for a more economical car simply because they’re practical and they require those capabilities.
With that in mind, Ford has been busy developing an engine that will deliver the power to haul and tow, while also providing more fuel efficiency. The 2011 V6 EcoBoost engine is the solution and will soon find its way into the Ford F-150. The design of the engine employs a turbo charged engine and direct-injection, which Ford promises will help to deliver V8 power with V6 efficiency.
Ford’s EcoBoost V6 is an attractive alternative to a diesel engine as gas engines are cheaper to build. The new EcoBoost V6 will deliver around 340 horsepower and 340 pound-feet of torque, which is certainly on par with large V8 variants. The engine also promises to achieve 16 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway, which should be a huge plus for many truck buyers at Nashville Forddealers. And, thanks to its ample power, Los Angeles Ford dealers believe Ford’s new EcoBoost will also be able to work hard and tow just about anything. This is helped by a new cooling system that absorbs heat within the combustion chamber, helping to reduce the stress of heavy loads.
The new Ford EcoBoost V6 will also be quiet, thanks to an active sound cancellation system. With the powerful of a V8, the fuel consumption of a V6, and even quieter than ever before, the new EcoBoost V6 is exptected to be a competitive engine choice at Keene NH Ford dealers when it makes its way into Ford F-150 trucks in 2010.
