Technical Performance and Durability

The 5.0L Coyote V8 uses advanced naturally aspirated technology to provide a broad power band:

  • Dual Fuel Injection: By combining both port and direct fuel injection, this engine optimizes performance and fuel efficiency across all engine speeds.
  • Ti-VCT Architecture: Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing allows the engine to adjust intake and exhaust valves independently for better throttle response.
  • Variable Displacement Engine (VDE) Technology: This system can shut down half of the cylinders during light load conditions to improve fuel economy on Indiana highways.
  • Power Output: This engine delivers up to 400 Horsepower in the F-150 and up to 500 Horsepower in specialized Mustang models like the Dark Horse.
  • Towing and Payload: In the F-150, the 5.0L supports a maximum towing capacity of 13,000 lbs and offers a best-in-class payload rating of 3,325 lbs.
  • V8 Performance: The 4th-generation Coyote features dual throttle bodies for increased air intake, resulting in high-RPM performance and a smooth power curve.
