For the 500th time lol.

I am guessing when you don't have enough microchips to produce your existing models, it makes launching a new model pretty difficult.

More like the current Cherokee. At least the Liberty had a solid axle and short overhangs. They did well offroad.

C6 Z06 is still hands down my favorite vette of all time. You can't hate the LS7 :LOL:

ive got the bigger radiator already. The oil cooler is supposed to be offloading some of the cooling that the coolant would normally be faced with in the oem oil cooler.

I have an Improved Racing oil filter sandwich adapter with a built in thermostat that is connected to a Setrab oil cooler. The current thermostat bypasses the oil cooler until 200F when it starts to open. It is fully open at 221F. Improved racing also has a 180F thermostat that is full open at...

I live near Park City in Utah and there are a lot of the TRD Pro trucks running around. Almost all of them are not stock. Its hilarious. And then every non-TRD Pro 4Runner or Tacoma is running the takeoffs from the TRD Pros which is also hilarious. And then here I am running the 4Runner TRD...

Agree. The problem is the elevation of Davis Dam is quite low. We can hit 100F here in Utah at 6500'+ which compounds the issue. Not only is the cooling air less dense but the turbos are having to operate at a higher pressure ratio for the same power and generating more heat in the charge air.

You realize I linked that same test like 5 posts before yours. I am aware of the test. Your Silverado also has a radiator that is quite a bit bigger than my 2014 F150 radiator and similar in size to the 2015+ Ecoboost radiator. I am guessing your truck does stay cool as its peak output at...

It's always the Subaru's I see off the road here in UT. I was driving down Parley's Canyon at like 4 am for a flight one morning in a white out. I saw 4 cars spun off the road at various points. All of them were Subarus. I casually drove down the hill in my gargantuan F150 on Wrangler Duratracs...

Which is why the entire TRD Pro line is so stupid. Pay an extra $7000 + dealer mark ups for the TRD Pro and immediately rip out the only thing that makes it unique, the suspension and wheels. They really don't offer much besides that over the regular old TRD OR models.

Yes I specifically looked for crew cab long beds, which were very tough to find. All my rentals have been CC short beds.

Problem is, the 5.0 uses the same cooling system as the 3.5L. So until someone comes on here and says the 5.0 doesn't overheat in Utah(I am also in Utah) i don't know if we can be certain it would not also have issues. So far, the only 1/2 ton I am fairly confident wouldn't have issues is the...

Yes they are. And yes that could potentially be part of the issue.

I test drove all of the mid-sized trucks in crew cab trims(except the ranger as it was not out yet). The Colorado was the only one that could reasonably fit a car seat and not suck for the people in the front. The frontier was extremely uncomfortable. If you are single or a couple with no...

I am becoming less favorable toward the Ecoboost. I used to drink the Kool-Aid but after 4 seasons of towing, warping 2 sets of exhaust manifolds, and pretty much being gaurentteed to get the coolant temps into the 240's nearly every time I tow during the summer, I have lost some enthusiasm. I...

A buddy of mine had a loaner 2.0T Wrangler while his Ecodiesel GC spent months in the shop. This guy is a huge diesel fan and even has his own business building turbo upgrades for the Colorado Duramax, Jeep Liberty CRD, and a few other diesel engines. He had nothing but good things to say about...

Sweet truck. A few of my neighbors have ZR2's, although not Bison, and they are awesome. Unfortunately, the reduced tow rating kills it for me. I have a 5500 lb travel trailer that I tow around the rockies and it puts enough a hurting on my F150 Ecoboost. If they came out with a Bison with the...

Not sure if anyone saw this, but TFLTruck just posted a video on Sunday where they sent Andre's personal 2021 F150 Powerboost up the Vail Gaunlet and overheated it to the point that it went into power reduction mode...

Not anymore. 2021+ has max tow on all engines except the base 3.3 and 2.7L EB
