the EcoBoost V6 has to be one of the sweetest engines I have ever driven.

i suspect the awd in the sedan would flop here anyway, it did`nt do much for the Magna sales wise, its not like we see a lot of snow in oz, and the rwd has plenty of grip anyway.

The F150 3.5 EB puts out 570Nm from 1600 rpm, with no turbo lag. 23mpg on regular unleaded. Not 20L/100km using premium as per the Territory Turbo. Not to mention being proven in that "torture test."

Sorry correction. 570Nm @ 2500rpm but at least 90% (513 Nm) is available from 1700 rpm - 5,000 rpm
