[QUOTE="skyscraper, post: 730759, member: 12330"] There is a big difference between speeding down the freeway in a bimmer/subaru and pushing a 6000# truck in the desert in +100 degree weather. Reliability is a major factor. Less intricate parts to worry about. Sure there are baja trucks running turbos, but there's also a lot more money and design into them. Hell, I own and daily drive a turbo diesel cummins in the oilfields, but Im not quite placing the same demands that a raptor can achieve off road. JMO, but I wouldn't want an engine with less displacement and more moving parts (two turbos) that can break. Plus, we didn't buy these trucks for fuel economy. If that's what you are looking for, you're better off buying an ecoboost and upgrading the suspension. [/QUOTE]
