look, I like the new rams, and the new HD rams a lot, they're great trucks. There's no reason not to imagine a day where ram is the number 2 truck seller in the USA, Chevy has stumbled horribly and has to go straight back to the drawing board. Ram sales may be up year over year 22% that's what loose credit will

I give it three years max

I bet if ford sold a Texas edition with only the the 4.10 rear and the 6.2. They could use its atrocious mpg as a sales tactic.

the weight loss is one part of the overall strategy first was turbos, second was weight loss. Then the ten speed transmission and then diesel/nat gas powered trucks. Just imagine a ten speed diesel engine aluminum f-150, I can imagine that 32-35 mpg will be within the realm of possibility, 30mpg average.

Then what? Turbos are as old as dirt, the oil recirculation system will cool down the turbos properly each and every time..

as shown on the 3.5 5.0 and 6.7 ford under rates their engines to leave room for future improvements like in the 5.0

you must live in a fantastic world where people still change their oil and do their own maintenance and change their own flat tires, tell me what this fantastic world is like?

seeing as this engines block is made out of compacted graphite, just as the power stroke... Im not worried

and your truck has an 8 speed, this truck has 6 let's see what happens next year with the new 10 speed.

if loving on and out is wrong, I don't want to be right

and upwards of 75% of the energy of a combustion is wasted as heat, there's still lots to be done to gain mpg

the Ford has an oil circulation system to continue to circulate oil through the turbos after the engine has been shut off, maximizing oil life, engine life and turbo life. Ford has been torture testing this new engine and aluminum structure for 5 years before we even knew that it existed, any issues have long been

well that's because compared to the grosser, everything else is cheaper to fix, someone should make a rotary engine xj8 with all Lucas electrics to test my theory...

it's not how you make the power but where in the rpm range, peak torque arrives just where you want it, 3k rpm... Looks like fun

the diesel engine has a compacted graphite block and a turbo and eight cylinders and it does just fine, why would a gas engine that puts less stress on the parts not last just as long?

that's because those people think Jesus lived with the dinosaurs and the earth is 4134 years old, pay them no mind.

then apparently you didn't read the part where it explains the oil recirculation system that will cool the turbos down properly each and every time, I suspect that these turbos are rated for 750k or more just as in real trucks

and you would be wrong, it's rated to tow 7500 under the most extreme circumstances anyone is ever likely to see, Johnny 9-5 and tows a boat has nothing to worry about

the global Ranger is made in Thailand, there is no chicken tax on vehicles imported from Thailand. If this sells, you'll get yourself the Ranger you desire

moderate trail sure, but a bone stock xj would not be able to make it where these can go
