While we are on the subject what do all of you think about Ford's aluminum pickup?
The trend in the automotive industry, small vehicles up to class 8 trucks is small displacement & more power/torque per cubic inch/liter. Usually this is done by improved turbocharging which includes aftercoolers/intercoolers. If the same power/torque can be squeezed out of a lighter engine it results in improved fuel efficiency.

good luck with this. my wife has a 2006 f150, and its the most impossible truck to work on ive ever seen...no room under the hood, and it will only get worse with these fancy turbo v6 engines. think spark plugs on a 5.4 suck? wait till you have to wade into one of these newer fords...
gee, i wonder if they still coat all their hard lines and hardware with that corrosion ENHANCING covering, as well? just had to replace the trans dipstick tube because it rotted out, what a ***** that was. glad i have an IR air hammer, i end up using that for everything on that crusty ford!!
Is that "over 400hp" AT the Drives or just vehicle sales material?Yeah it's over 400hp from the factory
