Pretty exciting. I
Pretty exciting. I understand that this is blasphemy to "real" truck owners, but imagine a 5/6th scale Ford pickup - let's call it Ranger, with the new aluminum skin, and this engine. Now imagine it does not have either 2 or 4 wheel drive, but rather on-demand AWD lockable below 15 MPH, like every crossover on the planet does. Keep the ride height reasonable. What do you think, 30 MPG highway, 25 MPG overall and a 0-60 time of 5.5 seconds? Price loaded maybe $30K. Let's not pretend that anyone really tows boats or plows with the few 2WD trucks we keep using as the MPG examples.
