I just can't wrap my head around 2.7 liters...about 165 cubic inches...in a truck, pulling 1000's of pounds of trailer.
I know, it's turbocharged. I wonder how hard it would run, in the Rockies, with it's full tow rating...or maybe more (as some people are bound to do) weight.
After a full towing schedule, let's say for the first 5-10 years of it's life...what shape will it be in...for second hand buyers, down the road ?
I'm sure Ford engineers checked all these things out, beforehand.
It's just me....wondering about small engines...doing big work.
