The 3.5 would melt if you put it in a SD and asked it to do what a 6.2 or 7.3 can do at maximum capacity. Never mind the long term reliability or the fact that the MPG would be worse than the V8’s.

I want my signing Bonus! and I want it now!

Chassisgroupleader, members like you are why there is a two tier pay system in the union. Your selfishness is sad. I am sure you have never voted against a national contract.Just remember these two tier employees will be in the majority within 10 years. They are going to remember people like you, unfortunately everyone pays for people who will not stand up for what is right.

Respectable numbers, about what I would expect. The engine does look remarkably compact. Something I Noticed in the video, around 3:54. The F stripped chassis appeared to have a galvanized frame. That is something UPS has had in their spec for package car chassis, and a reason Ford for some time was not providing chassis to UPS. Ford didn't want to offer a galvanized chassis, so a lot of UPS's business was going to Freightliner. Looks like Ford may be trying to get some UPS business, a galvanized chassis and a gasoline engine is just what they want these days. BTW- since the F series has an aluminum cab, if Ford would offer a galvanized chassis on the Super Duty I bet a lot of customers in the northeast would pay a lot of money for that option.

It has less HP and TQ then the 3.5 V6 EcoBoost. It's pointless. They should just put the 3.5 in the SuperDuty.

That appears to be correct. I remember the 1.0EB manual is a 6 speed instead of the 5 speed. The auto trans is also a regular slushbox. https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a15100602/2016-ford-focus-sedan-10-liter-turbo-automatic-test-review/

It's typical Ford lately. Make it class leading and increase when it necessary. I have a feeling it's tuned to be very conservative. Can't wait to see what the aftermarket does with it.

Watch the TFL video above, they said it's lighter than the 6.2. No actual weight is given.

I really don't give two shits. I'm looking long term (10-15+ years) with my F stock. I just wish I bought it back in 2007 when it was under $2 a share. if you want short or mid term returns, find a different stock...

The derating in 450 and up makes sense to me. Reasonable expectations for a truck application where durability will be key. I think those numbers exceed the old 401 and 477 Super Duty V-8s in terms of HP and torque and exceed the 534 on torque. And those engines were used on a regular basis in tandem chassis that had rears that were as big as 65,000lbs!

Rumor is specifications will be released 8/1/2019.

Or Subaru Outback?

Badlands would sound good to me...

Ford Motor has 22 billion dollars of restructuring costs in Europe and South America.China is losing money.North America is highly profitable.Guess who will be paying for it all?The IUAW will keep us hanging on till the very last moment and then decide in a hurry.Do you want a strike or a signing bonus, with a little bit of give backs cuz,ya know,we are all lucky to have a job.Yes we have been effectively divided by 2nd tier + temps.Anybody seen the mitty-man walking around with the plastic bucket?I wanna vote on my future for the next 4 years!

Seemed like a great time to reinvest my dividend into more shares of F, so I did just that today.
