And the larger bore of the gen 3/4 was made possible by the switch to PTWA cylinder coating in lieu of steel liners. I believe I read in some of the coverage of the 2024 Mustang that the Mustang's version of the Coyote was adopting the "bottom end" of the truck version meaning the crankcase design. They were touting the switch to a steel oil pan. I assume that also includes the belt driven oil pump but they didn't actually say that. The old crank driven oil pump design was the weak link, especially when adding forced induction. The "fix" was to replace the cast factory pump gears and housing with aftermarket billet parts. When the 2021 F-150's 5.0L was introduced the Ford engineers made a point of the fact that the new belt driven pump had been tested to withstand up to 1000 hp output.

Splitting hairs but technically both of the Coyotes round to 5.0 liters 302W (4.000 bore x 3.000 stroke): 301.6 ci - 4942cc Gen 1/2 5.0 Coyote (3.6299 bore x 3.6496 stroke): 302.2 ci - 4951cc Gen 3/4 5.0 Coyote (3.6614 bore x 3.6496 stroke): 307.4 ci - 5038cc

Thats on purpose….. The old “5.0” was really a 4.9…..

Gen 4 Coyotes have belt driven oil pumps

Bore and stroke are listed in preliminary technical specifications. https://media.ford.com/content/dam/fordmedia/North America/US/2022/09/27/2023-ford-f-series-super-duty-technical-specifications.pdf Perhaps a smaller bore will come later if an aluminum version is manufactured for Mustang and F-150.

The grille pieces going back and forth across the headlights reminded me of one the these, especially the yellow part. Once you see it, you can't unsee it lol.

Motion sensors for the alarm

The only reason not to do this immediately is to see if Ford will provide some form of price protection/PCO if this order gets bumped to a more expensive 2023. I suspect that pulling the order may kill any chance of that happening.

I guess I'm doing it wrong by having mulch delivered to my house. I should have bought a pickup truck.

Challenge accepted. I squeezed 20 bags of top soil into my Focus once.

In addition to what "Road Turtle" wrote... From what you've stated, your Dealer obviously made little effort to manage your order and use their resources and available contacts to help expedite your order scheduling. And at this point it's a bit late as Ford is in the process of completing the "Balance Out" scheduling for 2022MY Super Duty's. If anything, Ford makes every effort to build as many higher trim models (Lariat, Platinum, King Ranch, etc.) as possible because of the profits. Your Dealer is making excuses and doesn't have a clue. Find another Dealer!

No, it makes it a bad choice for people who tow heavy loads long distances. Easily 75% of F150 buyers don’t do that so Lightning is a perfect fit for them.

????? Don't hold back turtle, no need to sugar coat it....what are your real feeling on this....?????

I think body-colored inserts would look better, but the less chrome the better, IMHO. Maybe they could get Webasto to make them... What, too soon?

I'm short. Those steps are amazing.

I couldn’t be happier with my Carli leveling kit and going to 37’s. The truck rides so much better than factory. MPG dropped about 3mpg but I am super happy with the results.
