Need more power for my 2.7

Please help! 2016 set access cab long bed. Need more power for towing in mountains.looking to add 50 hp. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

You’d have a better chance writing a letter to Santa Claus than getting more power out of it. $ for $ nitrous, maybe?

 

Trade it in

 

Welcome to TW! Sadly you probably won't be able to squeeze that much out of it yet.

 

Supercharger or a better option is trade it in. Making 50 Hp is going to be very expensive!!! Trade it in for a F150 Eco boost.

 

Forced induction is your best choice.

 

Or regear it.

 

FIFY

 

You'll have to be like these folks.



Unfortunately it sounds like you may be part of the growing group of folks that spent their $ before they knew what they were buying.

I'm sure someone will pop in and say 're gear'. But that isn't adding HP. It's just making you get to whatever power there is sooner. As in wind it up faster. Which can be helpful in towing, but almost immediately zeroed out if you put on the apparently TW required large tires.

Since you have a fairly new model, it's possible that trading to a truck with the power you need will cost less than even a re gear would. (since you have to do both axles)

 

Is it 2 wheel drive or 4?
