When Did Ford Switch to Having Both Direct & Port Fuel Injection On The 2.7 ?

[hardlymoving]

Just noticed on the Ford website that the 2.7 engine for the 2023 models is advertised as having both the Direct and Port Fuel Injection but the brochure for the 2022 makes no mention of what type of fuel injection the engine has. The 2017 Ford brochure states that the 2.7 engine has Direct Injection so at some point they made the change.

As I recall, it was in 2018. Ford had had enough problems with Gasoline Direct Injection only on fouling of valves from EGR flow that they initiated port injection as a means of cleaning the valves. My home work says that port injection only accounts for about 10% of the fuel flow.

All the engines have port and direct injection except the 2021 diesel. Engines haven't changed specs since release.

2018MY is the correct answer.

"For 2018, Ford implemented changes it deems comprehensive enough to call this engine the “second generation.” A new exhaust-gas-recirculation system, the addition of a port and direct fuel-injection system, and reduced internal friction headline the changes."
