[QUOTE="EricM, post: 1282319, member: 20286"] It's not a simple matter of RPMs. Cylinder pressures are king when it comes to engine wear and longevity- the 3.5L cylinder pressures are way higher than the 6.2L. It's not even close. The 6.2L was designed solely to be used as a truck engine. The 3.5L TT was not. Those are the facts. My opinion is the 3.5L will be a steaming hunk of blown up crap when the 6.2L is still rolling along. What could possibly be more reliable in a truck than an engine designed solely for that purpose? Certainly no engine Ford has ever built before or after the 6.2L is a more reliable mill. It's a modern n/a fuel injected OHC big block with variable cam timing. It'll run until you die and make plenty of power the whole time. Arguing that the TT 3.5L will last longer is just a totally absurd way of thinking. [/QUOTE]
