The 5.4 is not a total embarrassment, but neither is it class-leading. Ford needs a new top engine option. Both the new 6.2 that will be available in the Raptor as well as the EcoBoost turbo V-6 sound intriguing.

iam sooooo pleased that ford is back in the lead with the truck of the year.  i have not been keeping up with auto industry for a couple of years and the fact that motor trend finally is seeing the light of what cars should be on the road and what shouldn't. ford definetly has improved.  certainly with quality.  maybe they use gm's plant in dayton ohio. diane sloan.
