MPC upgrades had more to do with staying in front of emissions limits, I'm hearing
anecdotes that the 2025 2.0 EB does not have GPF at least on some models.
Retired and moved to Grand Junction, CO in 2015 to enjoy motorcycle touring. Our low mileage 2010 Lincoln MKS purchased new on Kauai (hence low 69K mileage) suffered a bloody nose in a local Safeway parking lot. Even though drivable, insurance totaled it and shortened our rental car benefit to only 7 days🙄. With only one week to find a replacement, purchased a mostly good looking Platinum Dune Pearl 2016 MKX Reserve with 101,370 miles. Very pleased with it after polishing out the "cloudy" headlamps and replacing the TPMS sensors. Our only disappointment is a small oil leak under the front of the engine. May have to live with that as our dealer quoted an incredibly high price to to remedy. Otherwise, performs and handles very nicely with the twin-turbo 2.7 powerplant🤩.
Thicker cylinder liners, longer connecting rods and most likely heads adapted from the Nano V6s with dual injection. Not rocket science.
Also note hp and torque in Explorer are unchanged at 300/310.
Supposed to pay homage to the fox body, but not quite sure outside of the plaid seats
I dig it though.
