They have been tested and subjected to much more than 99% of people will ever subject them too. A guy I know went to the testing at the Ford proving grounds and drove all the new trucks and said they are all impressive especially the Ecoboost.
After the mess Ford had by introducing the 6.0 too soon to market they will NOT let that happen again. That is also why the new SD truck has the strongest transmission available of any 3/4 or 1 ton truck.
Yea, they run mid 14’s at almost 100mph with the new Ecobost F150
It’s going to be impossible not to get some buildup with the direct injection but they do not seem to be having the severe issues some European cars have.
.
stock to stock i think it was Motor Trend did a test in the rockies, and the Ford got it ass kicked. sorry if your butthurt.
When it comes to diesels Cummins > all.
I wouldnt touch a Powerstroke and IFS in a heavy duty truck (GM) is lame.
Audi’s 4.2.
LOL, I am done feeding the interweb trolls. Maybe all you guys that love those GM trucks should buy them. Ford sells more HD trucks than GMC, Chevy, and Dodge COMBINED. And that is not counting the F450 or 550 trucks.
ok cool, thanks BRA!!!
bye now
I have heard a lot of awful stuff on the Audi/VW buildup.
GLI with 100k
Well it seems like everyone just quotes Motor Trends tests IF a Ford loses one comparison but as soon as Ford is a winner “Ford is paying them” “they are biased” I read it all the time. And most kids that say this stuff have never owned or driven either. But whatever floats your boat I guess.
A big part of the reason Ford sells more trucks is that theyre cheaper. Most fleet owners arent brand loyal and will buy the cheapest trucks they can.
i think that motors are real nice nowadays. they produce plenty of power considering the size and amount of cylinders, but i’m not so sure about the rest of the truck in a place like upstate ny. salt and rock chips and all that shit will eat that truck before you need to replace the motor. yea, they stress it in the dyno cell, but cover it in salt, water, oils and all kinds of other shit as its spinning in there for tests that are closer to real world conditions. the simulation is just that, a simulation. i’d wait till most of those motors have over 150 kmi on them from being driven, then check em out. im not saying its a bad motor by any means here. im just saying i’d rather check em out after you get a buncha idiots behind the wheel, put em in some nyc or la or miami traffic. some nasty weather like buffalo or something. give em to a buncha idiot kids to beat. stuff like that will better illustrate what that motor will be like. you cant really simulate all of that in a dyno cell.
I think picking a random engine off the assembly line, driving around a nascar track pulling a trailer and then a few other tests and then dropping the same engine in a race truck and finishing the Baja 1000 is worse than sitting in city traffic.
i cant say, im not a tech or an engineer at ford.
something i noticed is that it’s always clean. they change tires often too. i’d leave it be, like an average driver who doesnt know what a spark plug looks like. forget to change the oil in it a little bot, like for an extra 400 miles or so on a buncha oil changes. leave the oem intake filter in there thats dirty. just like ppl do in the real world. but i mean, i totally understand, its a commercial 
all of them are fuckin junk
/ thread
all of what, John? the trucks or the tests?
all the cars suck . they all break , they all have problems , its a bullshit lolol
ahhh. yes. 100% agree with you there. :lol overall, theyre all sucky.
something else i notice in during the baja video, Mike mentions that the truck goes up into the mountains and theres “oxygen changes”, thats true with elevation, but its a turbo motor. dont they just not give a shit for the most part? compared to a naturally aspirated engine i mean. the turbo is the part that makes the difference, cuz it still packs comparatively more air into the motor thats naturally aspirated? but yea, its a commercial, i know. your average consumer wouldnt know.
air density affects everything . the air being less dense and oxygen being less avail it sure does affect how a motor runs
