2011 F-150 WILL have a ECOBOOST 3.5L GTDI Engine (Gasoline Turbo Direct Injection) engine as an option you can order. It will not be a "Test Mule" put together by Tom Vaught.

"The 2011 Ford F-150 now has more exciting engine choices than at any other time in the storied truck's history. But as much as we're looking forward to rocking the new 411-horsepower 6.2-liter V8, the 360-hp 5.0-liter V8 or the 300-hp 3.7-liter V6, the top of-the-line EcoBoost V6 has us the most excited. The reason? Ford keeps taunting us with tales of terrific torque curves and class-leading fuel economy."
