I am not right? But actually it is right? Like when you strap a turbo to an engine, you get out more power???

godmachine

It drives like shit on the road, terrible resale value, shitty software for the stereo, cheap materials on the interior. I'd rather supercharge the 5.7 in a Tundra if I want a stupid fast truck.

>>16406229
Are you fucking retarded? In a nutshell forced induction does give it more power, however a production car turboed from the factory will have been built to he turbocharged and the internals will be made to last hundreds of thousands of miles. It's not like you're throwing 50 psi at a stock F20C.

>>16407864
>drives like shit on the road, terrible resale value
It's actually the most comfortable truck you can buy due to the FOX shocks. Resale speaks for it self. It's Tacoma meme tier.

>>16405813
It's a heavily reinforced version of the Ecomeme. Ford is pretty good about giving their performance trims god tier internals.

Excluding Mustang GT cucks of course KEK.

Does the anti-lag system kill your warranty? Because that's extremely unhealthy for a turbo.

I wish, my ST has a cast crank and pistons. Conrods are forged but skinny af.

I never said otherwise.

But it also has an extra turbo, more displacement, and a lot more weight. So you can enjoy bogging in and digging even faster with those useless 450 horses.

>>16405802
does it really have antilag or is it just some ford meme shit? Cuz I cant see having antilag on a daily as practical

>>16408734
probably something similar to what the evo had in the 90s

the post

>>16408734
yes, it does have anti lag

but it only activates in baja mode

>>16407833
indeed

>>16408419

Anti lag destroys turbo's and is extremely hard on the engine, which is why rally cars need engine rebuilds after a few stages. The engine is firing the spark with the exhaust valve open and that shockwave is raping the turbine blades.

My guess is it's a throttle blip function that blips the throttle a bit before a gear change.

Hehe but thanks for changing my opinion. So you are telling it's more reliable from a factory than getting it turboed from a tuner shop.

>>16410353
He's wrong btw.turbos are inherently more unreliable than their n/a counterpart.
Just cause they built it for forced induction doesn't mean it'll last. Look at vw, volvo, ford, bmw

Please, educate me on how an overweight truck with a gasoline engine that has excess horsepower is better than an understressed diesel on a lighter body with accesible torque and smoother delivery.

>>16405802
Raptor is the only truck I like.
Other than hilux.

Hilux is all the practicality and reliability you need without any of the compensation for the small dicks truck owners have.

Raptor is all the performance and agressive looks a performance truck should have.

What the shill means it competed in the 5 in total full stock class, and lost to an ancient H1 driven by Rob Hall and a land cruiser driven by privateers by a landslide and finished the event with 52 seconds to spare.

The baja 1000 goes for 36 hours. The ford finished at the 35:59:08 mark. Both the H1 and the land cruiser finished at the 32 hour mark.

So yeah, it's bull. Ford is known to make a mountain of every anthill. Kind of like that time when they started turbocharging engines and called it "eco"boost.

>>16411342
And yet they can still accomplish something many times over that GM can't manage once. Really makes you think.

>>16411342
anyone who understands turbochargers realizes why they call it "eco". What they haven't bothered to explain to people is how much energy is actually lost by the engine as heat, because saying "Our engines were only 45% efficient before ecoboost" gives a bad impression. Now they can simply explain the "eco" portion by describing a turbocharger as a waste heat recycler (which it is).

You're better off with a Power Wagon.

Raptors are for Sanic thru desert
PWs are for really rough terrain at slow speed. Hence the winch.

>>16411408
Except they were originally going to call it TwinForce or some shit like that and then the whole "green" movement happened and Ford saw an opportunity to score some points without really doing anything they weren't already going to do.

>>16405802

>>all new 10 speed transmission with magnesium paddle shifters
Magnesium, wow. So you're saving 50 grams of weight ona 2 ton truck, just to make it more expensive.
>>placed 3rd in the baja 1000 with only a roll cage and auxiliary light modifications
Third place in your class isn't good when it's a class of five, two trucks DNF'd and you are 52 seconds away from timing out of the event.

>Why don't you own a Raptor /o/?
Because they're starting at 90K EUR here. For 60K, you get a loaded V8 model.

>>16405802
They're only great at desert or smooth(ish) hard/dusty locations.. Try taking one of those through mud or on serious offroad trails over rocks and crap.. probably not gonna do what I want of it

Suspension designed for high speed offroad use is generally pretty comfy on the road. Combine it with comfy seats and it's hard to fuck up.

>objectively the best production desert runner ever
This sentence seems great until you consider how limiting and how pointless the "production" limitation is.

>5% reduction in aerodynamic drag over the last gen
Means nothing.

>magnesium paddle shifters
Why does the material matter? Magnesium is fairly light for metal but it's most noteworthy attribute is being highly flammable and exploding if you try to put out the fire incorrectly. The drop in weight just from paddle shifter material is never going to be enough to matter.

>>16416790

actually turbos are better for offroad conditions because you can take them to high altitudes and they can still make the same power.

n/a can only make as much power as they can pull from the surround atmospheric pressure

>>16416826
if you're up high enough for there to be a considerable decrease of power in an na engine turbo spool will also be slower,turbos have to do more work as well so oil temps will go up

>>16405802
it looks like my wifes sons hotwheels toy

>>16416850
literally no.. the turbo will work exactly the same. it's efficiency will be lower. but it will spool the same, make the same boost, etc.

even 5k ft is enough to see significant power loss with n/a

>>16416957
>but it will spool the same
No. Go watch Diesel Power Challenge's dyno day. Those guys are running compound turbo's and nitrous (on diesels!) just to get rid of the extra lag caused by the high altitude where they're testing.

Sure, altitude hurts n/a cars, but it also hurts turbo cars. Anything ICE for that matter.
