With the composites / ceramics mixtures known that could be used to line the combustion chambers would increase the limits of pre knock that would let them thin out the gas increaseing the miles to gal far above whats today,

National geographic doing a truck video? I dig it

[Plusimurfriend]

make a laser light speed engine and we will talk

[ahmadmukhlis]

Why just One wheel spinning while burnout ??

[oddsource]

only ford ive got is an old 8n tractor from the 40s and it still runs. Good old gravity feed gas tanks :)

[wilymcgee]

@gerfall WRONG, most pickups SHOULD BE 4x4's

[dreicemoney]

pick up trucks should be front wheel drive or all wheel drive.

[codybell]

Shit shit shit drive shaft banging against the frame no wonder the rear ends feels loose when you let off the brakes that's a comon problem

@Truthiness231 That has nothing to do with the fact that internal combustion engines are better than electric-powered engines. Sure, electric cars are probably the future but batteries and electric powered motors, in my humble opinion, have still not sufficiently developed enough to the point where they would be able to adequately replace combustions engines.. Just my 2 cents.

[rreborre]

@mercedescl Because they are very efficient at what they do. Combustion engines today are really not efficient, way to much energy is wasted in heat and we really need to revolutionize todays car so they can meet better standards.

[Meemperor]

This engine is just proving what people have been doing since the mid 80's with V6's....Grand National anyone?

[mercedescl]

@Truthiness231 fork and spoon are very ancient tools, why are you still using them?

[Toolaholic]

I don't see the eco boost holding up, use two turbo chargers and the v6 will not last called blown up

[Plamen]

Wow.. Americans discovering that bigger isn't always better? You might be on to something here, guys... haha

[mercedescl]

@Truthiness231 "eventually gets replaced by some concept greater than the former"? What concept? They are still less efficient and more costly than the internal combustion engine. In the meantime, I will keep driving V8 with a manual unless the government outlaws it.

@DutchKid121 Either that truck did not have a limited slip diff. or it did not engage.

[MrJaySingh]

i love that fact FORD try so hard to make better TRUCKS but they still suck at it!!!! interior is cheap nd ride is cheap~! plus you the stuff u gotta fix every month!!

[sealtite]

Cool, can't wait to spend 5, 000$ on turbos at 150, 000 miles

[DutchKid]

@390fe390 ohh thought he was reffering to drugs or somethin...

[Toolaholic]

Ford did make a mistake in 1980, drilled holes in the frames of truck frames and made them weaker.Wanted to lighten the frame and ford would not cover it under warranty if a snow plow was installed
