Ford has officially announced that its new 6.2-liter premium V-8, formerly known as the "Boss" V-8, will debut in the off-road pickup this winter but the eight-cylinder gasoline engine is also expected to find its way under the hoods of other light and heavy-duty models in the F-Series lineup.

Our spies have caught the approximately 400 horsepower / 400 pounds-feet of torque 2-valve OHC 6.2-liter engine for the first time in a Super Duty engineering test mule, where it's expected to replace the current 367 horsepower / 457 pounds-feet of torque "Triton" V-10. Check out the "6.2-L BOSS" stamped across the top of the plastic air box and F-Series Harley-Davidson edition wheels.
