Anyone notice 2026 Horsepower lowered on F150?

[Aonarch]

Ford has not released their emissions specifications for the 5.0L as far as I can find but there are many references that say the 2026 5.0-liter V8 does not have a gasoline particulate filter like the 3.5L Ecoboost does. Turbocharged engines produce more soot than a naturally aspirated engine does so this makes sense. In fact because the 5.0L has both port fuel injection and direct injection and that engine already has some of the lowest emissions among Ford truck engines it may not need it for 2027 emissions compliance.

The 3.5L Ecoboost is now the F-150 high volume engine for the F-150 so it makes compliance with overall fleet emissions easier for Ford on a volume engine. Because the Tremor with the Ecoboost 3.5 is a low volume vehicle that model with the 3.5L Ecoboost does not have a gasoline particulate filter.

My understanding is the 5.0l gained one in 2024 which is why it lost flex fuel.

Nope

I watched another video today that Ford marketing was contacted and claimed the 382 is a misprint on the website. We really need to wait and see.

My 2024 5.0 does not have a GPF.

Slight point of correction. The 2.7 is the "volume" engine in the F-150. This has been the case since the last gen. They're built at the Lima plant. I don't have any data newer than 2022 but I doubt that's changed based on production volumes coming out of Cleveland and Lima.

You are correct @XLT22 , good catch.
