This guy is talking about 2015 getting a new engine

Wow lol...

 

Damn. Those guys suck at their jobs. They should a used que cards to keep from st...st...st...studdering so damn much! Lol

 

Bad fuel economy and low hp/tq. Good numbers in 2004 when gas was $2.15/gallon and 236hp from a 4L V6 was impressive.

Pugga said it ... must be fact.

^^^^ Knows what he's talking about.

 

Nope ... standing by my statement Cap'n.

 

The need to make engines on acft more efficient was probably driven by the need to increase range and payload concurrently. I don't think the same pressures applied to cars and trucks originally.

The pressure for economy / environment friendly cars and trucks is really just starting to gain momentum.

Just my opinion and guess.

 

And the Ecoboost 2.0 is EPA rated 2mpg WORSE than the 2.7 in my regular cab.
Lighter, more aerodynamic vehicle, engine just over 2/3rds the size, and gets 20% worse fuel economy.

Take power or fuel economy, but you will not get both, no matter what Ford's marketing machine tells you.

Don't think a DI "ecoboost" type 4.0 is going to get you better than 20mpg in a brick.

 

And while cost was always a concern, it is not a driving force in aircraft design. People will pay what they need to pay for a certain aircraft.

We could have awesome cars and trucks today if we didn't care if they cost $50k+

 

true dat
