V8's are a waste of investment for what is really a niche market these days.
The coyote doesn't have a lot of grunt down low and isn't great in a truck. If you've driven a Mustang you know how flat the engine feels down low. It's why Ford built the 7.3 litre Super Duty motor but it's again, not a massive market for that engine.

I don't think its any surprise for the 3.5 TTV6 to be more popular than the 5.0. That engine ultimately replaced the 6.2 in F150 Raptor after all. I would be curious to see what sort of uptake the 6.2 would have if it wasn't restricted to Super Duty.
