For those thinking an F150 instead of 3rd gen...

Had a 2017 Xtr for 6months..stalled twice at high speed on a higway.(1500kms and 3500kms)...Phuck that.
But to be fair the f150 V8 was a great ride..only if it runs.

 

my .02 - had a edge sport with the same 2.7. cyl 5 took a dump and started burning oil. youtube search on the 2.7EB and you'll change your mind.

also, until these DI engines start adding Port injectors like toyota, be prepaired for detonation issues from sludge build up. i think ford finally updated the 3.5 EB with dual injection so that or the 5.0 would be the way to go.

 

Also we can't take any new Ford's to the arctic. The cold will shrink the aluminum and the doors won't close. Way to go ford!

 

Seriously? Is there Youtube vids of this i can check out? I need to see this.

 

that's why all the f150 fleet trucks function fine in -60 up in the patch. or does it get so much colder where you are that its going to shrivel and bust any aluminum panel....

 

Um......yeah (look at my screen name, location) Raptor doors open and close just fine.
However the aluminum rims shrink and our tires fall off Nov 1st and don’t fit again until mid April. We just all use snowmobiles and dog sleds so not really a big deal.

 

Don't spend money on a F150. I got better deals for you.

SPORT edition.


LIMITED edition.

 

Not on my end lol. Pretty comical to say the least

 

Well I know they don't have any in Yellowknife and I've been as far as Resolute Bay NU. They only have the ford panel vans and 250s there, which if they were outside they were never turned off. Hell even our forklift had to idle about 500 rpm higher than it's idle in order to keep it from freezing over.

When I landed it was -66 in beginning of March and the worst it got for me was -71 with the wind chill.

Lol I agree, the way it should be

 

I think they all have dual injection now.

 

only in the 3.5 and 5.0 and only starting with the latest 2018 redesign. the 2.7 is still DI only.

 

Well that’s a good thing.

 

Vehicle fire of an aluminum body F150 a buddy of mine made. Was told it burnt down to this condition in less than five minutes.
