The powertrain line is largely carried over from the previous generation, with a 3.3-liter V6, 2.7-liter and 3.5-liter EcoBoost twin-turbo V6s, a 5.0-liter V8, and a 3.0-liter diesel V6. Dubbed "PowerBoost", an optional gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain is introduced for the first time in a Ford light truck, pairing an electric motor with the 3.5-liter V6. The six-speed automatic is dropped, with all engines paired to a 10-speed automatic. The 5.0-liter V8 receives a new cylinder deactivation system, called Variable Displacement Engine (VDE) technology, similar to GM's Active Fuel Management and Chrysler's Multi-Displacement System.
