The 3.3 NA fleet V6 is a pretty good apples/apples to what Stellantis decided on for the Ramcharger. Just a thought -

That's worth thinking about. On I-64 in Virginia or West Virginia, there is a 7 mile climb with no breaks along the way. It's fairly steep.

flixden replied to the thread EREV Hybrid F-150 Lightning Announced!.Curious as to why so much power? That would be more than a 200A service to a house. Big and heavy wires, maybe not really practical?

Has the cornering become squishy vs. the prev. setup since you have more sidewall.

You can use either on the 2023, either lower pressure or the trigger tool. Apparently.
