Ford Motor Co.’s new head of worldwide powertrain engineering remembers working on the Dearborn automaker’s first EcoBoost engine ‚Äî the 3.5-liter V6 in 2009 ‚Äî that eventually became an option in its best-selling F-150.
Expectations were so low, in fact, that Ford now sells more EcoBoost-equipped F-150s each month — about 40 percent of all F-150 sales — than it originally anticipated selling each year.
