Named for the 1962 Ford Taunus V4 engine and Ford Cologne V6 engine built in Cologne, Germany. 1.2/1.3/1.5/1.7L were mostly in European Cars. 1.8, 2.0/2.3 had the same bellhousings bolt patterns with differences from year to year to be wary of.
The new V8s were marketed under the "Triton" name and mark the first use of Ford's Modular single overhead cam (SOHC) engines in the F-Series pickups.

Initially, the 4.6 L Triton engine and the new 3-valve 5.4 L three-valve-per-cylinder Triton V8 engines, respectively mated to a 4R70E and 4R75E four-speed automatic transmission, were the only two powertrain combinations available to the retail public on the new trucks.
The base 4.6 L Triton V8 engine was dropped for the 2005 model year as the 5.4 L Triton V8 was made standard on all Expeditions and updated with 24-valve technology and variable valve timing. The Expedition also received a significantly updated version of the four-speed 4R70W automatic transmission.
Following its shift to truck use, the 385 engines were joined by multiple diesel-powered engines. In 1997, Ford introduced the overhead-cam Triton V10, which replaced the 385 V8 engine family after the 1998 model year; the next overhead-valve big-block V8 produced by Ford is the 7.3 L "Godzilla" V8 introduced for 2020.
The standard gasoline engine was a 5.4 L Triton V8; a 6.8 L Triton V10 was offered as an option. At its launch, the optional diesel engine was the Navistar-produced 7.3 L Power Stroke V8; during 2003 production, a Navistar-produced 6.0 L diesel V8 was introduced, again using the Power Stroke name.
