"Poorly cobbled together" thanks. I wrote it.

Production numbers by engine type aren't publicly stated, so it would be impossible to include that metric.

I've come to the conclusion I could post a study saying researchers have found that it gets lighter outside when the sun rises and there will always be someone who finds a way to dispute the findings.

Here's your gift for the day! More fodder to use against turbo haters. LOL https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2025/02/most-reliable-truck-engines-lasting-more-than-150k-miles/ “iSeeCars analyzed over 1 million trucks on the road in 2024 with at least 150,000 miles. It identified the engine brand...

LOL. Yup! I take enough criticism to be honest, so it's nice if the automaker takes all the criticism.

I remember doing videos on this when I bought a 2021 F-150 Powerboost. The responses were a mixture of "hey dumbass all Ford's have rust" to "holy crap that's awful."

I like free whiskey?

I'm confused. All new 2024 5.0L V8 Ford trucks come with the 10-speed and cylinder deactivation.

Hi! Influenced-media here. What makes you say that?

This is very accurate. Far too many people think the higher trim levels are only about leather seats and a bigger screen. The ride is different, sound deadening is better, the tires are typically better, etc...

Doesn't have any impact. The GM 3.0L diesel has start/stop. I've spoken to engineers and customers. Nobody has had an issue with that. Interestingly, the start/stop is such a non-issue really, yet it gets a lot of attention from people from a reliability point of view. I did an interview with...

I have an open invitation to CR's operation and test track. I just haven't made a plan to get up there yet since it is such a long trip for me. I've also spoken with them at length about their findings and shared a few criticisms I've had. All I'll say is they have their business model and they...

They make a heavy-duty payload package for the F-150. Pretty tough to find, but it is out there. I have to say I'm pretty surprised to read your comment on ride quality with the Super Duty. I've had them for a week-long press loan and have had to use a heating pad on my back every night. With...

I keep asking Ford where is the SuperDuty PB and I get a deer in the headlights look. I swear they don't know what they have with most things. I still remember being at the media launch event for the Maverick and they had no idea how popular it would be. I just don't get the leadership team at...

Good. Not sure if I read that or not so sorry about that. Glad you got it fixed.
