Ford Racing's brand new all-aluminum Coyote crate engine is a modern 5.0L 32-valve DOHC V-8 that features Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT) to deliver over 412 horsepower @ 6500 rpm and 390 ft-lb of torque @ 4250 rpm (with premium fuel).

I cant wait on you.:) GWN

If you put the Roush SC on it you now have 650 hp . Not going eco saves 5500 , so that pays for 1/3 of the sc .

I was interested in the new limited, but the tan plastic put me off(was hoping they would fix for 2020) then I raced one in my car . I was very disappointed in the raptor engine. Figured it would have did a lot better .

All packed up and heading home in a few hours. I'm kinda homesick and ready for this to be over, ten days is way too long for a vacation.

It looks like fall came while I was away. I'm leaving 90°+ weather and coming home to this.

At least you didn't get 37 degrees last night like we did on the Washington coast...brrrr


OK...yesterday I finished my "summer" jobs. Only 2 months late...not bad. If I was a speed freak instead of a pothead...I woulda been done by July 4th.

I bought a Ford Ranger when I graduated from college in 1988.
"Have you driven a Ford lately?"

In other words, "we used to suck but now we're awesome".

That fucking thing gave me nothing but problems. When I ended up with a blown head gasket with a little over 60,000 miles, it was time to trade in that piece of shit for a Toyota 4X4.

I will *never* buy another Ford product. :finger:

(but I'm not bitter...)

I bought the Ranger new in '02 but with the Mazda badge. Four-banger with the stick. That truck has been a dead reliable vehicle, and I didn't mind its being ssllooww. I sold it last year to my son for $1. Still have the dollar.
Good kid; he sank $600 of mildly delayed maintenance into it. It's serving him now as faithfully as it did me.

I was debating between the "coyote" or the "big beast" earlier this year whilst looking for a truck. Ultimately I am a simple man and the sound of turbos spooling up is just so audibly pleasing.

I do love the sound of turbo spool,
One huge problem I have with the eco is , the engine sounds are coming thought the stereo .
I member my test drive in the eco, I said this sounds better then my Titan V8 , that’s because I was hearing a 5.0 mustang in the stereo.

I usually have my music so loud I can't hear any engine noise.

Ford took bailout money too. They just took out a different kind of loan from the gov't. And then pranced around saying they didn't.
