Briggs Supercenter Announces that Two New V6 Engines Dominate Ford F-150 Sales

Manhattan, Kansas (PRWEB) August 23, 2011

The sales team at Briggs Supercenter – the leading car dealership in Manhattan, Kansas – think that the recent news of two new V6 engines for the Ford F-150 is great. While Briggs Supercenter specializes in used Ford cars and trucks in Manhattan, KS, they keep their eyes on all the latest trends and news.

With its powerful and fuel-efficient 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine, the 365-horsepower Ford F-150 EcoBoost® is outselling all other competitive six-cylinder trucks combined.

The new EcoBoost V6 is one of four new fuel-efficient engines Ford introduced in the F-150 for 2011. Another of those new engines – a 3.7-liter, 302-horsepower V6 – also outsells all other competitive V6 engines in full-sized trucks from Chevrolet, GMC, Dodge and Toyota.

According to sales numbers from J.D. Power and Associates, both new Ford truck V6 engines accounted for 79.5% market share of V6 full-sized trucks sold in July of 2011, which is quite impressive any way you look at it.

“Both of our new V6 powerplants are changing the way customers think about truck engines,” said Doug Scott, Ford’s truck group marketing manager.

“The 3.7-liter has more horsepower than two of the three V8 engines we offered in last year’s F-150. The 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine, at 365 horsepower and 420 lb.-ft. torque, is in a class of its own – no one has anything even remotely close to this engine, which can tow as much as 11,300 pounds and deliver 22 mpg.”

The new hot-selling F-150 EcoBoost is the highest volume vehicle in Ford’s growing family of cars, trucks and SUVs around the globe and is available with the company’s patented fuel-saving technology. This is just one of the many reasons consumers are switching to Ford.
