Yes, the 2000 Ford F-150 does have a Triton engine—depending on the specific engine option installed in the truck.

How to Tell If Your F-150 Has a Triton Engine

Here are a few easy ways to find out:

1. Check the engine badge on the fender or tailgate—it may say “Triton V8”
2. Pop the hood—engine covers often say “Triton” if equipped
3. Look at the 8th digit of your VIN:
   • “W” = 4.6L Triton
   • “L” = 5.4L Triton
   • “2” = 4.2L V6
4. Check the owner’s manual or emissions label under the hood

Final Thoughts

So yes, the 2000 Ford F-150 was available with Triton V8 engines—specifically the 4.6L and 5.4L variants. If you have one of those, you’ve got a Triton under the hood. If it’s the 4.2L V6, then no Triton—but still a solid engine for everyday driving.
