Read an article by motor trend and they were talking to Jamal Hemeedi and this is what he had to say.
MT: What do you think the acceptance will be of the 3.5-liter V-6 EcoBoost? Do you think the guys who love their Raptors because of the V-8 will go for a turbocharged V-6?

JH: “You have to drive it. The engine is so capable and the thing with trucks is that you want a lot of torque -- a lot of low-speed torque -- and this engine is just vastly superior to the V-8 in terms of low-RPM torque. Like not even close.”
