Gasoline Engine Specifics
Emissions
When customers ask about the E-Series horsepower figures, explain to
them that torque is what gets a big load moving and horsepower
keeps it moving. Torque measures towing and hauling power, a more
important number than straight horsepower, which isn’t as important
for truck applications. You’ll also find that many Ford trucks hold a
torque advantage in comparison against competitors.
Application Tip

Modular Engine Family
• One camshaft in each cylinder head eliminates the need
for pushrods
• Single Overhead Cam (SOHC) design provides an
advanced level of valve control
• Deep-skirt engine block design and low-friction components
enhance reliability and fuel economy
• Silent-design chain cam drive contributes to reduced noise
Electronic Throttle Control
• Standard on all E-Series models
• Uses electronic sensors instead of a mechanical linkage
• Uses driver input to actively modulate torque at the drive
wheels, as opposed to sensing torque at the flywheel, as
some competitive systems do
• Delivers seamless and consistent engine response and
transmission shifts
• When going up a hill or on rocky terrain, Electronic Throttle
Control (ETC) allows consistent pedal input for smoother
engine response
Engine Oil Cooler
All E-Series models are equipped with an auxiliary
engine oil cooler, mounted at the front of the vehicle behind
the grille. The engine oil cooler:
• Helps the engine oil maintain proper operating temperature,
preventing oxidation and increasing the oil’s lubricating and
protecting properties
• Contributes to longer engine life, lower emissions and better
fuel economy
California Emissions (422) is no longer available, replaced by
50 State Emissions (425).
