.10 per seat and if there's 150k sold double that to 300k for both front seats and that comes out to 30k... that's someone's quartly bonus please think about that individual!!
I’m doubting the report about Super Duty EREV using the coyote engine. The 6.8 V8 would be a much more cost effective engine than a 32 valve DOHC motor. I wouldn’t be surprised if the next gen F150 drops the coyote for an enhanced 6.8.
I would expect a non-turbo engine for the EREV. Turbos are less efficient under heavier load, and the engine would typically be running under heavier load to charge the battery, so you'll want something that is efficient at higher load. I think a small diesel would be a perfect choice, but I don't know that is really feasible with emissions regs. Plus, Ford doesn't have a small diesel, so they'd have to build one. Not gonna happen.
Just crazy that they're letting F-series slip at this point.
I'd say this does point to a more radical/truly all new sort of changeover, and not just the new front/rear end, same cab "all new" approach we've seen since the 2015 model.
