[QUOTE="EricM, post: 1155184, member: 20286"] That not what others here have reported. The point of the post you quoted is the n/a V8 has better driveablity in a slow, rough, off road scenario. The 6.2L has more low end grunt at small throttle openings. If they are both wide open throttle- yes the turbo V6 makes more low end torque, but if you take away the boost- you take away the torque. Credit for what specifically? The turbo V6 is slightly more powerful and gets a little better mileage than the n/a V8. Put the 6.2L in the lighter 2017 and it'd be pretty comparable IMO. The n/a 6.2L will always be more reliable than any turbo engine as well. You don't just "add 2 pistons" to a V6 to make a V8 either. It'd be nice if it was that easy, but that's not how it works. Firing order? Harmonics? As for the Germans- I sure as hell hope Ford is NOT close to them in any way. Their engines are overly complicated and very difficult/expensive to repair. Timing chains in the rear of the engine? Check. Ugg. [/QUOTE]
