interior features don’t fail on fords… consult a GM owner for that. 12 years old and everything works in my truck, no rattles or nothing. And its a 1 ton, none of that mushy wallowy BULLSHIT to soak up the rattle causeing bumps. Ask Brett, he came with me last night when I had to go pull out a stuck Duramin 🙂 ---

Not too many if any turbocharged trucks(non diesel), my guess is because of how much heat they generate. cooling them would be tough. but that is some serious testing they put it through. 24 hours straight full throttle with 11k behind it, thats impressive. I would hope they do testing like this because its a brand new product they dont want a ton of recalls would cost them more money than testing. ---

:rofl Cool videos though. I wish they used the Silverado with the 3.73 axle ratio but the Ecoboost would’ve romped on it anyway. Impressive for sure, especially considering it’s size. ---

How lol With a few mods a new PS makes over 500rwhp and over 1000rwtq. GM is making it impossible to mod the new trucks due to the high amount of warranty claims the last few years.
