We’ve been raving about Ford’s decision to go turbocharged. Their EcoBoost engines are now in the Ford Flex, Taurus SHO, and quickly appearing in other Ford and Lincoln vehicles. Ford always said their single and dual turbocharged four and six cylinder engines will eventually replace all V6 and V8 power plants in their lineup. This changeover has begun, with the 2011 F-150 slated to have a 3.5L V6 turbocharged engine. Ford is cautious though in assuming how this significant change to America’s number one selling pickup will be perceived. So Ford is organizing test drive events all around the country this September thru November. Ford will reserve spots for 20,000 people at various venues across the country. You will get one to two hours behind the new truck on a variety of courses, including towing and hauling scenarios. If you live near Los Angeles, Houston, Atlanta, Dallas, Aberdeen, or Orlando get to www.drivef150.com and sign-up.
