I agree about the mtx, but really, how many people would buy the Montego/500 with a 5 or 6 speed...(besides me  )

I think this would be an excellent choice for the entry level Mustang. Think of what a twin turbo V6 stang would offer to the choice of power trains...  The 4.0L truck engine is long over due, time for the 3.5L! Hopefully it wouldn't drive up the cost too much. This would definitely make a good SVT versionfor many of their vehicles. (Fusion/500/SUV's). Like James said, now they need to make more bold moves with the other areas of their vehicles!

Don't kill the truck engine in the Stang. I'm hoping for more mods for my Sport Trac!!!

That made my day! The 4.0L needs to die already! Kinda like how the old 3.8 really REALLY needed to die.

Unfortunately, it didn't die. It just became a 3.9L. I'm assuming the 4.2L is the triton from the F-series.

Maybe because it is completely uncompetitive in the modern car market when compared to engines used in peer vehicles.

Just about all of them... and smoother too.
Nissan Pathfinder: 270hp/291tq
Toyota 4Runner: 236hp/266tq
Trailblazer/Envoy: 291hp/277tq
The base Durango and Grand Cherokee match power, but are a bit shy on torque.

i didn't think those had the same interior space...but still, the exploder makes the same torque, and atleast 220hp...i don't see how it's completely uncompetative. and again i stress it's reliability. 16 years and 150k on mine
