Thoughts?

 

Yikes. I don't see this working out well. Hp and trq is decent but that'll be a high rever for sure and I doubt will have very good mpg because of that, especially towing. No thanks.

 

Yeah I was shocked when I saw that today, its been proven with the Ford Ecoboost that the MPG isn't near what they claim when you use it as a truck. Plus looks like they are moving to stop/start on there engines, I'm not a fan. I sure hope Toyota keeps a v8 in the next gen Tundra.

 

Hahahahahahahaha

 

Alway's heard about high reving engines " a dog that poop's fast, don't poop long" There is a reason that a Caterpillar diesel that runs about 1400 rpm's will last a million miles

 

Man that is one ugly truck. Scroll down and look at the tailgate.

 

looks like they wanted to recess the name in the tailgate, but couldn't figure it out. So they raised a section to recess the name. What retarded engineer thought that looked good. It looks like a rubber stamp saying " FAIL"

 

While being a turbo 4cyl with a peak HP high into the RPM range, the interesting tidbit is that there is a flat torque curve with peak just off idle all the way up to about 3/4 the way to red line... A turbo diesel is similar and is fantastic for towing, I think this little 4cyl might be pretty good at towing actually, at least compared to similar HP/TQ engines in its class. Will likely rev relatively high to get going up to speed or to climb grades, but settle into a rather tall gear and use the torque to hold highway speed lugged down around 2000/2500 rpm
