I am surprised Ford went with this facelift which much closer matches the Camaro. You would think ford would do more to differentiate. For the Whipple, have the design and manufacturing issues been solved on them? For a while, I had seen many that were locked up.

Correct. This is a drivetrain test mule of some sort.

Sure - all kinds of stuff.

I don’t know what to tell you. This individuals topic is on many forums.. hard not to see this thing everywhere .

Nope

Oh, plenty here: 1966 F100 EcoBoost Engine Swap (EcoBoosted)

Ironically, this truck was sold back to dealer as used, at a loss. Dude didn’t have any cash and screwed himself. Oh well, thank goodness he is gone and done flapping his yap. His replacement truck was a 5.0, so we know his ecopoop didn’t treat him well. Feel sorry for the poor sap who bought...

This is a 2013 GT500 with the 5.8 Trinity engine. Does any make a ghost can tune for it?

Just curious- is there a ghost cam tune available for these? If ran that way, any long term side effects? Issues related to catalytic converters would not be of concern on this particular vehicle. I know- probably smarter to actually install cams, but just curious if a ghost cam tune was...

Just because it’s unheard of to get an MSRP deal on these Rs. He was lucky enough to get one, then will resell to get an ADM. Shady was probably the wrong word, but these resellers screw everything up. My buddy is a sales manager at a Chevy dealer and had all new corvettes at msrp. His dealer...

He stated that he could not actually keep this R. He had an issue retiring and that was not financially planned out. That’s all - he’s not keeping this and will pocket the ADM profit.

It’s actually already for sale… could not afford to keep it since retirement happened, and financial planning for that evidently never happened. Odd that he paid MSRP, but will charge an ADM to resell a used vehicle. Just seems shady to take advantage of an MSRP buy like that.

It’s already for sale… primarily some funding issues apparently since retirement happened and no retirement funds in place‍♂️ Bought at MSRP, and was very lucky to be taken care of that way. To resell and pocket an ADM (somewhat) seems a bit shady, but whatever. Even with the miles “under 100”...

I would have a hard time getting back into an ecoboost. They seem to be full of all kinds of design issues. Ford in general is riddled with design and build quality problems as well. All vehicle manufacturers are having this trouble, but ford stands out on top… they were the only manufacturer to...
