Ford’s Latest Engine Design – the Boss
Set to replace the current Triton V8 engine currently powering Ford trucks today, the Boss 6.2 liter engine is the newest project for Ford Motor Company. The all new large displacement V8 engine was put on hold in early 2005 but is being brought back in hopes of providing serious competition for the Larger Dodge Hemi and General Motors 7.0 liter Vortec engine. The hope is that the new Boss engine will infuse the sluggish Ford Truck market with some seriously needed new, vibrant blood.
Ford showed off its latest design at the 2008 SEMA show. The engine will make its debut appearance in 2010 in the F-150 SVT Raptor. Originally dubbed the Hurricane, the name was changed to the Boss after Hurricane Katrina devastated much of the Louisiana and Mississippi coast line in August 2005.
