Hopefully they will boost the power. Small engine only equals good gas mileage when you take it easy. If you hammer it, it will be as or more inefficient than a larger more powerful engine.
I heard rumors that Ford was going to intro a diesel (somewhere in the 4.4L range) that would be available in the Expedition, F150 and Land Rover. Word was that the epa estimates for the Expedition where 20/24 with the diesel. Power and torque ratings were supposed to compare favorably with the 5.4L gas engine. I think that this might boost sales if the cost for the engine was well controlled.
