Can confirm my 2.7L V6 F150 gets 580+ miles per tank and shows 22.3 mpg on the dash.
Can confirm you are causing massive climate change because it's not electric. How dare you! As penance for your fossil fuel sins, you must go stand next to a sUpEr cLeAn lithium mine and breathe in the environmental friendliness.Can confirm my 2.7L V6 F150 gets 580+ miles per tank and shows 22.3 mpg on the dash.

that 10spd is clutchwow. My 06 2.3L manual ranger only gets 23-24.
Highway driving and climate control are the two biggest range killers. If I recall correctly, that the Porsche Taycan got the closest to their advertised range because of it's two speed transmission. If the world wants to go electric hybrid powertrains are the only solution in the US. At some point you need gas to fill the range gap of these things.Starting to wonder when the false advertisement law suits start to pop up on that whole 300 mile, 350 mile range on these over sized R/C cars. I have yet to even hear of a Tesla owner getting what Musk has said is the range of it.
2019 P90 owned it for over 2 years and have yet to even get 225 miles out of a full charge of the 300 mile advertised range. He says you turn on the heat that effects range, A/C even winding down the windows effect range. He has to plan the route he has to take if he wants to go to Akron (55 miles one way) as if he hits more than 10 traffic lights up there, he might not make it back on a full charge!!!!!!
The Taycan gets close to its advertised range because Porsche was conservative with the estimates at launch, moreso than other EV makers. The 2 speed is more for getting max acceleration with a low 1st gear.Highway driving and climate control are the two biggest range killers.

Good point, the 5.0L needs turbos."Stand on the gas, and the 2.7 will scoot this Crew Cab truck to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds. Not only is that 0.2 second quicker than a 2018 version we tested, it's a tenth of a second quicker than a 2021 F-150 with the 5.0 V-8."

Weed whacker>truck sound
and that is without a tune or intercooler.

So you would sacrifice great amazing sound for being faster by a fender or two?"Stand on the gas, and the 2.7 will scoot this Crew Cab truck to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds.

Forgot to mention, adding a tune would make it useless for towing. Might as well buy a lightning at that point, at least the Lightning would be able to tow for a couple more feet lolIn stock form with a VERY limited platform compared to the 5.0L

The two speed saves 5% battery and allows the rear drive to disconnect too.The Taycan gets close to its advertised range because Porsche was conservative with the estimates at launch, moreso than other EV makers. The 2 speed is more for getting max acceleration with a low 1st gear.
The biggest issue is crappy charging infrastructure and the simple physics of how fast you can add charge to a battery versus dumping energy-dense liquid into a gas tank. Aside from spending more on gas, no one really cares if they get 150 miles or 500 miles out of a tank of gas, because it takes 5 minutes to refill it and there's stations everywhere.
