if you’re doing one you might as well do both. Flat Rock certainly has the capacity. I would think the Lincoln would use the Aviator 3.0LEB rather than the Coyote.
The other big advantage of smaller turbo six is when they idle for hours at accident scenes or whatever..
the smaller engine definitely uses less fuel as the v8 cylinder deactivation only works at cruising speeds..
That was the big selling point for Ecoboost to law enforcement agencies plus the pursuit rating of course..
They had a fix for it in the rest of the world, moving to 1.5 EB with conventional 6F trans in 2015
but USA refused to drop Powershift and continued selling for like another three years…
I can attest that the EB 6F combo was chalk and cheese comparison with the previous Powershift.
So sad that Ford just didn’t go with 6F right form the start……it already had mid gear lock up function.
Nearly all the V8 classics are now exhausted.
over 95% of 1500 inventory is now I-6 turbos….
Even before V8s were ended, Ram was having big issues convincing buyers
to lake up the I-6 turbos and now that inventory has spiked, it a lot harder..
Since Cerebus did a bang up job of managing Chrysler all those years ago………not.
Clearly a play by a person desperate to be noticed by his future boss……
The point of interest that nobody talks about is how the rear seating is set up.
In order to make this a practical four door, the rear seat position needs to be moved
from where it currently is, in between the rear wheel tubs to forward of this position
like a conventional sedan has……not changing that will be an utter waste of time.
Most definitely a supplier issue where the roller bearings in the roller lifters seem to be failing prematurely.
and the reason for roller cams:
With modern oils, there’s no phosphorus in ther to poison converters so breaking in
flat tappet cams no longer successful unless you buy classic oil for pre-2006 engines.
It’s failing way more than the 6.2 ever did due to low quality lifters. Wish I had just ordered my 22 with the 6.2 as I will be driving it for a while due to Ford discontinuing the configuration.
