Ford Truck tests
Pretty impressive videos. Have to give them credit they are really flogging the truck.

They have three if you look towards the bottom of the video window. 1 for the Nascar track 1 for towing the logs and 1 showing a freeze bake test. Plus more on the engines in general.
They are impressive.

That is sweet! I'm betting they use Motorcraft 5w-20 in it? That's a testament to MC oil too.

The engine had 150k not the transmission. Hahahahahha not like that matters sometimes.

Now you guys got me thinking I wonder if they used a full syn oil?
Good point about their diesel and the other MFGrs trucks.

You probably have already seen this but for those who haven't ecoboost info. The valves and other areas being fouled up did cause a pretty significant mpg loss, but the dyno numbers before and after cleaning show that it didn't lose that much power. The engine has been through [censored] and I'm sure these videos will help sell it. The DI fouling issue is still there though.

My net is junk. It wouldn't buffer right. I'll buy one in a couple years. Hopefully they will have the bugs worked out by then...
wonder what kind of OCIs they're doing on that thing
Thanks for the link!

I'm sure they used what ever they spec'd. Somewhere on these pages is a report on Ford's testing of MC 5W20 oil, it was very impressive. I wish I could find it!

As long as a non turbo gas v-8 is avalible I would not be interested in a turbo v6.

Let me guess, you drive a Tundra and your wife drives a Camry?

This is actually normal testing that goes on at almost every manufacturer.
The cool part is that we rarely get to see it.
And the devil is in the details. Ford gives none.
