Every 2015+ F150 engine dyno tested

Relax everyone. Anyone who has experience with different dynos knows that they can vary wildly depending on what type of dyno is used.

Then there is the fact that turbocharged vehicles post lower numbers on certain dynos that do not provide any load or resistance which does not allow it to build boost. If it wasn't an eddy current dyno properly set up for a turbocharged vehicle, then it will probably post lower numbers.

I think there is something up with the numbers from the pickuptrucks.com test anyway.

Maybe a typo. 280/280 from an eco boost doesn't make sense to me. Even if it was really 280hp on that dyno/truck/day, the torque should have been higher than the hp.

The numbers for the base 3.5 are quite different from what pickuptrucks.com just posted on their half ton challenge, 280hp and 280lb-ft of torque. Sounds like we need a third opinion to settle it.

One reason they're different is the truck AmercianTrucks.com tested was the first gen 3.5EB engine with a 6 speed transmission. The truck pickuptrucks.com tested was the second gen 3.5EB engine with a 10 speed transmission.
