Maybe they detuned it slightly to get under some new emissions/mileage requirements to avoid gas guzzler tax…….
Don’t want to add $1000 to every GT

Nope. No way, no how, no when is every American/European/JDM / whatever suddenly gonna go all electric. Not in 10 years, not even in 20 years. Bet me.

Possible. But unlikely a 10HP drop will effect gas mileage in a positive way. But you never know. :like:

I was just thinking because an auto Mach 1 doesn’t have the gas guzzler tax but the manual does

Most manufacturers world wide have already announced the change over to full electric by the early 2030’s. That’s right around the corner. I do not need to make a bet on something we already know is going to happen.

2030's turns into late 2030's then turns into 2040's. Seen it a thousand times with various manufacturers. Don't hold your breath on it.

Alas... whatever the F-150 gets the Mustang will get... unfortunately.
That being the case, I'd be entirely willing to accept the least powerful of the current F150 engine offerings. If I'm back into and still into running at HPDE events, it'd be a certainty that I'd take that engine over any of the EB offerings. Maybe even if all I'd be doing was street driving, because I'll always be a corner-carver with roots in smaller-displacement NA powerplants at heart.

Ford F-150 Engines:

3.3-Liter Ti-VCT V-6: 290 hp, 265 lb-ft
  • 2.7-Liter EcoBoost V-6: 325 hp, 400 lb-ft
  • 3.5-Liter EcoBoost V-6: 375 hp, 470 lb-ft
  • High-Output 3.5-Liter EcoBoost V-6: 450 hp, 510 lb-ft

Stated intentions do not always come to pass. Just sayin'

I guess we just need to stay tuned to see what happens. At this point I'm more interested in the S650 now that we know what 2022 is going to bring.

The GT's already have lower ratings in Europe anyway.
