Not really when it comes to gas trucks.

Most powerful Ram = V8
Most powerful F150 = V8
Most powerful Silverado = V8

I loved my 2017 F150 5.0, but the turbo six has WAY more torque. I’d still buy another Coyote because I don’t need the extra tq.

It does depend on the V8. Yes you can take an old, outgoing V8 and get outperformed by a new turbo 6.

If you want the most powerful gas truck from Ram, Ford, or Chevy, it's going to be a V8. I don't think that means the V8s are getting trounced.

There's a trend out there - more companies moving toward the I6 again. I wonder the reason. There's a few magazine articles about it, even mentioning who is doing what.
Not now, not this year, but it's happening and in many ways, the I6 is winning - even in power and zip. You may have grunt power and nice sound with a V8, but the 6 is naturally balanced, smoother, and the next big thing.

The supercharged 5.2L V8 has 640 ft/lbs.

Remind me if this happens someday and we can revist this.

When did they put that in an F150?

What is in the current F-150 Raptor R.

Yup - That's what makes some articles fun - how do they turn out?

At this point the forum is just keeping the thread alive as an ongoing "Told you so" referencing back to pages 1 and 2.

People also randomly pop in without reading a thing to say some version of, "well I think all they gotta do.... 5.7.... Easy peasy.... Blah blah blah..."

We've had two model years come with no Hemi and there's still defenders out there like, "trust the plan"

the scheduled refresh is 28’ I think they’ll drop it in the next generation.

Assuming the next generation isn’t going to platform share with the new mini-Ram. A Hurricane 4 is way more likely than a Hemi at this point.

They’ll give us a 4bt and we’ll all be driving tractors!!!

Not so sure about power, but as far as reliability the old Ford 4.9 I6 was about as bulletproof as they come
