Any idea if they will bring back the V6?

We have 2022 with the V6 and prefer this over the v4 or hybrid. Starting to think about new and would prefer to stick with the Nautilus if we can get a V6...

Forget it!
I am in same boat as you!
I am looking for a low mileage 2022/2023 2.7l Nautilus with factory trailer tow package. Hard to come by!
I love my 2023 Naut, and need another vehicle to replace my venerable 2006 Infiniti M35x.
Best I can see if I do not find the 22/23 Naut of my dreams is the Honda Pilot. Offers 5k lbs. tow capacity and is equipped with a normally aspirated V-6 ICE engine!
Way to go Honda! The only thing that beats a good turbo v-6 for longevity is a good V-6 non turbo!
Sadly, FoMoCo seems to have committed itself to going electric with 2 new plants coming online in the near future.
Ford still has the 3.0l /3.5l V-6 turbo, but only available in the Aviator on up.
I do not think FoMoCo will box themselves with only offering all electric/hybrid in the near future. I would hope they would be mindful of current buying trends. However, that being said, I do not foresee them reversing any decisions such as re-introducing the 2.7l in any current or future lineups. I am sure, if demand allows, they will keep the 3.0 / 3.5 V-6 ICE in their larger offerings for the foreseeable future, as market dictates.
We both are owners of the last of the greatest Nautilus's built by FoMoCo!
 
Very unlikely. We will probably see more hybrid 4 cylinder options and eventually more full EV options.
To be honest the hybrid drivetrain is smoother than the 2.7L but without the downshift kick and low gear pep it is not as fun to drive. I had the 3.7L N/A , 2.7EB and now the 2.0EB Hybrid and each was definitely an upgrade. A 2.7EB Hybrid would be the best of all though. The 8F57 trans ruins the 2.7L in the nautilus and the 2.0L sounds awful and lacks the power to make the hybrid fun. Put the 2.7L on the eCVT and we would be on to something.
