CAFE law requirements are partly based on the square footage between the wheels. The bigger the square footage, the less efficient the vehicle can be and still comply.

I did not specifically ask them that question, but I don't think it's a space issue. I got a good look at the underhood of the Puma diesel (I-5) and while I'm not an engineer I think there is sufficient room there (although the intake would likely be a cluster due to the short hood).
Don't get me wrong, I completely agree that the EB is a stout engine, and I would not at all be surprised if Ford dropped the 5.0 in near future F-150s. But one of the reasons the EB works in the F-150 is because most buyers are personal use who don't use their trucks for commercial/work applications on a daily…
If the inline 5 Powerstroke fits, and the 3.5L EB V6 fits, I don't see how the 5.0 wouldn't fit.
Recently we learned that Dodge is seriously upping its muscle car game with the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. The…
The A-7 Corsair II, known also as the SLUF, as in "Short Little Ugly Fucker," was a conservative balance of economy,…
Agreed, as good as the EcoBoost 3.5 is, I'd rather have the 6.2L. The 3.5L over the 5.0 is one thing, but the 6.2L is not the 5.0L. What we really needed was not the Tremor, we needed a true muscle truck in the spirit of the Lightning. I get why Ford did this, though — it probably cost them absolutely nothing to whip…

New Roadkill! If you're wondering how much work it takes to put get '55 Chevy gasser with a Hemi running, look no further.
buy ALL the v8s. Don't let the 4's take over. Lol
This is an interesting case study. The burb has always been, up until this point, a great equalizer when it comes to the socioeconomics of car purchases. Families on different brackets of income had them. GM went on to further maintain competition within its own brand which then spawned materials to be improved in its…
Yeah basically a "pursuit" model available to municipalities. I bet it would sell really well too. I could see tons of private fleets picking them up.
Besides the speed, the tenacity of the drivers, and the engineering magic involved, of my favorite things about the 2…

If liking this donk is wrong, I don't want to be right.
I don't know... 15 000$ for a 507cu ready to offroad gladiator seems like a good deal so I voted NP.
This is why they are the greatest generation.
How about Small Block Chevy? For those who don't know, yes, the engine below is a 454 cubic inch SMALL BLOCK.
CAFE, NHTSA, IIHS etc....
I vote none. I like a wacky car that says "screw you conventions! you're on your own mr. driver, lets hope you are borrowing this car. "
You know what American's all want in a pickup? sleek. Nailed it again Mitsubishi.
