The 5.0 is still the standard engine on the King Ranch and Platinum since you can't get the 2.7 on those trims.Notice how a v8 is an engine option. This pretty much answers the question whether a v8 will be offered.
Even on the 2014 F150, XL, STX, and XLT had the 3.7 V6 standard but when you selected a crew cab, then the 5.0 became standard.
