People complaining about the power are missing the point of this engine. I applaud Ford for making a big, simple, and hopefully reliable v8
I’d rather have more reliability than 30 more horsepower.
16% loss isn't bad for a truck with 3/4 ton axles and big tires and rims. So Nathan you are absolutely wrong.
15% drivetrain loss on a 4x4 automatic transmission with 35" tires is excellent...which puts Ford's power ratings spot on
10% losses? The industry standard rule is roughly 15% on cars. Mow add in a transfer case. 16% is actually pretty good.
No, Nathan, you are wrong!
Motor that works hard, last long, doesn’t break the bank. Welcome back Ford. Might see this in a new F350 for me.
You guys are killing me! No one gets by with only a 10% loss of power through a heavy duty drivetrain. A loss of 15% is more feasible. Then you add in the 35” tires on the Tremor and you increase rotational mass, thus reducing numbers at the wheel even further... Then there’s also the fact that they explained very well, you can’t get accurate numbers if you can’t use the optimal gear. They were hitting the limiter at 95mph. All of those things will effect numbers in a negative way. With the proper gear and with smaller tires they’d probably pick up significant hp and tq! You guys are car/truck guys?! Honestly?
It seems like this truck loses about 16.2% of its power through the drivetrain which is actually quite good for a heavy, automatic vehicle such as this. What’s more impressive is that at ~408 rwtq, it’s actually making more than the advertised torque. Ford rated the torque at 475, but this reading shows about 486 lb-ft. Should be a really strong hauler 💪.
Old school push rod v8, no multiple camshafts, no turbos to deal with, easy maintenance, cheaper repair bills, better reliability. I'm a fan of it
None of the numbers matter when it's a 8k savings and still running strong 10 years down the road.
I'd rather have old school big block reliability then modern day disposable performance.
Less complexity is almost always more durable.
My 7.5 460 is 30 years old and still running great! I can't wait to rebuild it!
Everyone talking peak numbers but look at that torque curve!!! I believe in Andre's video the torque was kicking in at 2000 rpm. What a beast.
People just want a trucks that works good, needs nothing, lasts long
Does anyone notice the torque curve comes in very early 2000 rpm
Dyno a 6.4 hemi and a 6.6 gas GM, see what kind of numbers those put down. Thanks for these types of videos. I don't think there's any other automotive reviewers out there that do these kind of videos. For real world results, you guys are the best, thanks!
Probably the best engine and transmission by Ford since the 5.0 Stang back in the 80's. This engine was built for the commercial market alternative to the diesel. With the EPA regulating diesels to death and the market demanding a big gas engine, Ford made one for the Uhauls, Ryder and Enterprises in the market. While it works in the 250, it was really made for those other markets.
