The V6 is a product of the bean counter and nothing more. Only around for transverse applications and/or component sharing with V8s.

Neither of the Duratec V6s share any components with any of the V8s.

And I think you'll find a healthy amount of V6s going into RWD F150s and V6 Mustangs.

Ecoboost V6 in F150 truck: 270 Kw @ 5000 and 567 nm @ 2500
