Well, i knew the 2005 GT would get it, but i've heard nothing on the topic of the 2004 F-150 getting one. The 3v 5.4L seems to be getting all the spotlight.

Why wait till 05 when the new truck debuts in 04? Does this have anything to do with them continuing production of the heritage F-150?

That 3v 6.8L v10 sounds like a monster.

The delay has somthing to do with tooling and production ramp up.The 2V will be ditched asfar as Ive been told.And when the phase in the 3v the 2v will go bye bye (for the most part)
