[QUOTE="xxaarraa, post: 1194908, member: 22926"] I applaud you for actually looking up the info in the manual. Incorrect. First line clearly says it is designed to run on a minimum octane of 87. There is a BIG difference between "required" and "recommended" most of which is attributable to marketing (fanbois are eager to spend money on premium fuel because it sounds better than regular fuel, a truck that runs premium is better right? BMW has been doing this for years), and fine print to give Ford wiggle room in potential law suit defense down the line. The manual also recommends a bunch of other stuff such as type of oil and air filter and disallows any mods, do you follow all of it like its the bible? Just curious. There is definitely a debate on this. Instructors at Raptor Assault aren't running 93, you think they know a bit more about these trucks than Internet warriors on FRF? I think so. Look, I am not starting threads asking everyone to run 87. I choose to run 87 in my $71k truck because that feels better to me. [/QUOTE]
