New engine, more power
Ford tapped into a bit of its proud racing heritage to create the new 6.2 liter V8 gasoline engine, which uses big bore architecture to produce impressive horsepower and torque. The new gasoline engine delivers 411 horsepower and 434 lb. ft. of torque and provides improved maximum trailer towing capacity of 9,300 pounds.
"This engine has tons of torque and already has been proven in the field with both the F 150 SVT Raptor and Super Duty," said Mike Harrison, V8 engine program manager. "The exhaust for the Ford michael kors satchel brown Harley Davidson edition has been specially tuned to feature a throaty V8 rumble customers will love."
Benefits of the new 6.2 liter V8 gasoline engine christian louboutin studded sneakers sale include:
SOHC valvetrain with roller rocker shafts: The single overhead camshaft (SOHC) per cylinder head design results in a stiff valvetrain that allows optimized camshaft lift profiles and results in great low speed torque. The roller rocker shafts allow valve angles to be splayed, resulting in optimized intake and exhaust port layout for better breathing.
Dual equal variable cam timing: Intake and exhaust valve opening and closing events are phased at the same time to optimize fuel economy and performance throughout the engine speed range and throttle positions.
Two spark plugs per cylinder: Due to the large bore size, two spark plugs per cylinder are used to more efficiently burn the fuel air mixture in the combustion chamber, enabling better fuel economy and increased engine torque. The twin plugs also help the engine maintain a smooth, stable idle.
Dual knock sensors: A knock sensor on each bank of cylinders of the V8 engine allows the spark timing of each cylinder to be individually optimized real time, throughout the engine speed range. The engine learns the optimum timing via an adaptive algorithm.

The 2011 Ford Harley Davidson F 150 adds plenty of technology options to give customers what they are looking for. Key to helping customers take advantage of all the capability offered by the Harley Davidson F 150 is a standard 4.2 inch LCD (liquid crystal display) productivity screen.
