🤷🏾♂️ Good question, but I don't think that I have the correct answer for you. My thought would be that Ford decided that they could save some money by switching from the four hole to the three hole pulley design. (Smaller flange, one less bolt, and one less hole to drill in the pulley)
Thanks for making this video. All the different camera angles and detailed walkthrough were very helpful.
I'm happy it helped you out.

Quick question. Why does my 2015 2.7 ecoboost have a 4 bolt pulley and not the 3?
🤷🏾♂️
Good question, but I don't think that I have the correct answer for you. My thought would be that Ford decided that they could save some money by switching from the four hole to the three hole pulley design.
