The guy can't spelled "developed" correctly. Reeeealllll legit.

One Touch Intelligent Start is not push button start. Intelligent Start is simply being able to *blip* the key to kick the starter into gear instead of holding the key until the engine turns over. THAT capability is the same software as the push button start.

Heh. I thought the same thing when I saw his post. I about shit.

I've fueled 50+ capless filler vehicles (including Escapes) on countless pumps, and I have never experienced the problem you described.

Whoops!

Just for the F-150. It's going to have a Super Duty application too.

6.2 Boss will come in around ~420hp in production trim.

Meh. It just kinda grinds me gears when people claim "SVT IS DEAD SVT IS DEAD" without any real basis for it, or that "the GT500 isn't a real SVT vehicle" and other things like that. It makes me stop and think "WHOA WHOA WHOA...if SVT is dead and they had no hand in the GT500...then whose building was I working out of last summer and WTF was that supercharged Mustang with the Shelby badge they had in there??? I must have just imagined that lifted widebody F-150 in June..."

WTF are you talking about, you idiot? SVT has ALWAYS been about, well, one-off enthusiast driving machines. Please tell me how the GT500 and Raptor are simply "accessorized" and not "engineered". People hold some idealized vision of the SVT of the past like it was a massive entity like AMG that turned the entire pedestrian lineup into outstanding performance vehicles. SVT is two freakin' garages and a block of offices, what more do you expect? You're allowed to hold an opinion, and I reserve the right to call it fucking stupid.

+1 I mean really, besides nostalgia...who cares?

According to someone in the know, the 4 prototypes were RED, and had roots-blown DOHC 4.6s, NOT turbo V8s. This is a scam scam scam.

Not to mention the added emissions + NOx that come along with DI.

Not official photos, but I know where they came from. Tsk tsk for violating an NDA.

I should look at the pictures before I post next time :D

These aren't the first pictures like that. They do it when 1. the spy photographers take shots in lesser known locations they want kept secret and 2. private property. There are definitely places in Dearborn that are Ford property yet easily accessible to the public. A summer working down on Oakwood made my realize you can get away with a LOT if you act like you belong there.

Solid axles can have camber in them.

I like it. Just a quick blip of the key and it's on.

The Cummins is a baby I6 slated for Ram 1500 duty IIRC.

Exiled to the island of "ideas we cut along with our budget".

Think "dinosaur" ! :happy feet:

No shit. There's been engine mules with production components rolling around Dearborn in all sorts of vehicles for MONTHS.

Don't drive through on the weekend though!^^^

I could have done it countless times, but NDAs are a bitch.

It's hard to report sales when you don't sell any vehicles :P
