LR4 to use Ford Eco Boost V6

[slammer]

Ford is into using twin turbos. They do the same with their diesels.

I am loving the Jag power plant in my LR4. Strong and quiet, and my MPG is closer to 20 than it is to 12.

If anything needs to change it is to the Diesel.

Give me the Diesel!

The only advantage Ford would have is cheap maintenance. Super cheap oil changes etc. But I prefer the Jag motor

They are all Ford motors. I had my XK in for service at my Jag/LR dealership and asked the mechanic about the new Ford 5.0 and Jag/LR 5.0. He said they were pretty much the same, after all Ford builds them both. The 4.4 diesel going into the european RR's was designed for the Ford F-150, and is built at the same plant the 6.7 new Ford diesel is built.

They may all have the Ford emblem, but some 5.0's for the Mustang are made in Ontario. The F150 has theirs made somewhere else. The Land Rover's are made over the pond.
The F150 and Mustangs have different intakes, different oil filter locations on the engine blocks, different style oil filters and differing horsepowers. Otherwise they are pretty much the same? Lets keep ours made overseas.
