This is approaching insanity, a pickup?? That's as fast as an Escalade V.

I've never said anything about turbos not providing great performance.

Hope these motors hold up.

13 flat and 105MPH in the 1/4??? In a damn 1500??? Seriously impressive.

Not bad, almost like the stock hellcat version

High-performance-pickups are nothing new. They go back decades, to Ford's Lightning (the former gas version), Chevy's Syclone, Dodge's Shelby and SRT-8 Rams, and others.

and with a range of 442 miles. Gets 21hwy and it weighs in at 6000lbs. Impressive powertrain

Somebody screenshot this, Jill just called a turbo inline-6 impressive.

Ford has to answer this. They've been comfortable at the top of the pack for speed with their Ecoboost engines for 15 years, regularly smoking every other half-ton on the market and now they're caught with their pants down. It's too bad the ground-up inline 6 ecoboost they had planned was cancelled during COVID.

TFL did a review. They also said this engine is insanely smooth.

This could be a huge hit for Stellantis even with prices these days.

I don't believe it gets 21MPG real world, but yeah. If it does, good.

The bolded is very, very accurate. Pants down, yep.

Yeah I don't either. On TFL's 112-mile loop (mostly highway), the big three landed thusly:

1st) Ford F-150 Tremor 5.0L V8: 19.1 MPG

2nd) GMC Sierra AT4X 6.2L V8: 18.3 MPG

3rd) Ram 1500 Rebel 3.0L TT I6: 17.2 MPG

That was with the standard output Hurricane. Obviously a non-offroad trim with street tires will do slightly better (in all 3 cases--this is a true apples vs. apples comparison), but the results should remain directionally correct.

V8s beating a turbo engine again in mpg, imagine my shock

Striker223

It makes total sense to me lol! Driven the same turbos tend to drink more unless tricks like cylinder deactivation are used at cruise.

My Audis prove that well, once I removed the cylinder deactivation from the 4.0 it and the 6.3 get the same MPG

AJT123

Imagine mine too.
