The GM, Ford, and RAM light duty diesels all offer 30 MPG highway. That is achieved through axle ratio selection, active grille shutters, chin spoilers, air deflectors, tires. With the ride height, 4.10 gearing, and tire size of a Raptor, it’s not feasible to achieve that kind of fuel economy.


Worst polluters:super fine particles,all Europe are trying to get rid of them.

Modern diesels are actually just as clean as gas engines and in many ways cleaner; the DPF filters out the soot and the SCR system reduces NOx. The tailpipe on my 3.0 Powerstroke was just as clean at 10,000 miles are it was brand new.

Ive seen a few things that suggest the 30 gallon tank will be the only option with the powerboost setup

impressive mileage though

“airqualitynews.com” is by no means a legitimate source. As far as air pollution, private transportation, including clean diesel, is not responsible for the smog and particulate matter issues seen in cities in China and India, the world’s two most polluted countries. The pollution is due to unregulated emissions from commercial and industrial sources. If it was the result of privately owned vehicles, NYC and LA would look like Beijing.

Blaming consumers for the pollution emitted by industry and government operations is just another way to pass the buck on to the little guy. Airplanes, cargo and cruise ships, heavy duty trucks, buses, construction equipment, etc do not even have emission controls; they simply dump their pollution into the air. Nobody bats an eye when semi trucks roll thick black smoke into the air, but if you have a check engine light for a small Evap leak, the state will literally take your vehicle off the road.

Going after the cleanest, least polluting transportation is counter productive to improving air quality. The major sources of unfiltered emissions need to be addressed before the emission - CO2 - from consumer vehicles is made the scapegoat and the government forces consumers into are buying expensive, unreliable, throw away junk from companies like tesla.

Ford is running a sound synthesizer through the speakers and you’ll be able to pick from the following exhaust notes:

F-150 Lightning 5.4 Supercharged V8
Ford Mustang Cobra R 5.8L V8
Fox Body LX 5.0
‘96 Cobra 4.6 32V V8
Terminator ‘03 Cobra 4.6 Supercharged
GT500 5.2 Predator (this will be a $300 up charge)

aftermarket will go ahead and do a few extras too:
Ferrari V8
Ferrari v12
LS POWERZ!!
Audi V10


That’s just silly. BMW and others have been doing for years. No thank you.
