Ford has created an <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/09/27/2011-ford-f-150-first-drive-review-road-test/">exciting lineup of engines for the 2011 F-150</a>. From the 6.2-liter V8 and Coyote 5.0 down to the 3.7-liter V6 and turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost, it's pretty much impossible to make a bad choice. Our friends at PickupTrucks.com currently have the keys to both of the V6 models, and they are putting them through the paces for their Work Truck Shootout. That story isn't quite ready yet, but in the meantime, Editor Mike Levine decided to run them down the strip at Michigan's Milan Dragway.<br />
<br />
The resulting times are very interesting. The naturally-aspirated 3.7, which produces 302 horsepower and 278 pound-feet of torque, made the quarter-mile trip in 15.87 seconds with a trap speed of 87.69 miles per hour. The<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/09/22/2011-ford-f-150-with-ecoboost-puts-down-the-power/"> more powerful EcoBoost, which boasts 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque</a>, needed just 14.67 seconds to cover the quarter-mile, crossing the lights at 94.6 mph. Interestingly, both of the times for the V6 engines were quicker than all of the figures for half-ton V8 trucks tested during the site's 2008 Light-Duty Shootout.<br />
