2.7L 4cyl Turbo... 310hp/349lb-tq.

Interesting but still a believer in trucks should have a V8 or a diesel.

^Me too, not to mention that particular truck looks terrible!

Hope its more reliable than the Quad 4 that Oldsmobile hung their hat on a few years ago
Seems to be quite a lot of mechanical complexity, with sliding cams to vary the valve lift etc.
I guess a small 4 cylDiesel is a non starter in North America these days

They need it for fleet/gov trucks.

Ford has been leading the pack in 4cyl turbo power, others are just so late to the game.

Since probably 2/3rds of them will likely be used as passenger cars with the occasional run for mulch it makes sense. Should help a lot with their CAFE ratings too. The weight savings all trucks have been making are very impressive but there is only so light they can go.

That would be great if they brought back the S-10 and dropped that bad boy in it. Now THAT would be a truck!

Like one hell of a truck.

V8's great till you have 12-15 trucks burning fuel when they don't have to be. If this is reliable and no overly expensive to order it should sell great in fleet.
