They're using fancy valve timing and electronics PLUS turbos. I have looked at the hp-torque curves on the Ford F 150 (I drive a naturally aspired, pushrod 4.8 Chev) and nothing wrong per se. I think they use a 2 stage turbo like in their Super Duty engines International makes for them. Don't know the exact setup on others, but they are using turbos too.
I have a concern on engine life and turbo chargers even though I ran an 800 cu in big cam 400 hp Cummins for awhile that was turbo charged. Seems to me that turbo's put a heck of a strain on rings and if you don't keep the oil clean, you would have premature overhauls.....but that's just speculation. My Cummins was an older engine but it had been professionally overhauled before I bought it and survived on my watch without any major engine problems.
