Sounds like the 2.7 is a winner. Race proven, reasonable size, boosted, V6. Good on Ford for adjusting their engines to take advantage of the weight. 700 lbs. - not insignificant. This should bring the weight of the lightest 4X4 config down to about 4,200 lbs. That is progress. I wonder if the 2.7 will make its way into the Fusion or 500?
