- 2023 F-150 STX 5.0L V8
The 5.0 makes up roughly 25% of F-Series sales, and the EcoBoosts combined makes up 65%. That only leaves about 10% of sales for the 3.3 and 3.0 PS combined for 2021.I mean the 3.3 is in every fleet vehicle out there plus all the people who prioritize reliability above all else. I would love to see numbers, but I'd bet the 3.3 is in 3rd place behind the 3.5 and 2.7.
I've never even seen a 3.0 deez I don't think. If Ford made a big deal out of it and designated it as a complete trim package with a ridiculous payload and tough manual hubs or other more super duty-esque features, things would be different. Ford should have made this model the "super duty light".
The modern emissions systems and the fact that this 3.0 was adapted from (iirc) some Land Rover (could be wrong) made it unattractive to me at least. It certainly isn't as cool as the 7.3. If there was a scaled down 7.3, that would've been more exciting. Moreover, the actual 3.0 performance isn't drastically different on paper than all the other options which never leave anyone wanting for performance.
I wanted it to work, but I really want a 7.3 96 F250 deep down just like everyone else.
