Is Ford switching all their vehicles into ecoboost engines?
Why is Ford heavily advertising their Ecoboost engines a lot? I know is suppose to boost up fuel economy and horsepower but they taking out V8 engines. Other Auto companies they refine their V8s and make them fuel efficient or at least increase mpg. Ford is like ditching V8 and put V6 twin turbo to solve their problem quickly to me. Anyone agree?
They will offer the V8's for 2015 in the mustang and the F150
Its advertising simply because the eco boost series is more advanced and offers better overall all round benefits,
V8 is more costly to produce than V6 which now gives same power but better weight saving etc.
so combination of simple economics and fact market for macho stuff ( v8 versus V6 etc) is too small for a mass producer.
Yes but they haven't upgrade those V8 engines, they just carried over from previous model. Chevy upgrade their V8 engines and Chrysler their Hemi with 8 speed auto. Ford hasn't and it seem they don't want to to discourage buyers from buying V8s
- When did Ford (Mercury, etc) stop using Type F Auto tranny fluid in their vehicles? Sometimes… Living in a redneck town will amaze you. Especially noticing how low the average I.Q. Is…
- I have a 2000 Ford Taurus Sedan that has a screeching metal on metal sound when switching gears to reverse? And the sound is there the entire time you are backing up. Does this sound like a transmission issue? Also hearing a rubbing noise in the steering, and it is a little tight, any idea what that could be? Also heater blows, but not real strong and no heat comes out… Does that sound like a difficult and expensive fix? And could the heater or any of the above issues cause my engine light to light up solid continuously? The car runs pretty good aside from these issues.
- Switching from manual to automatic? 1977 Ford F100 truck? Hello I'm going to switch manual to automatic, I just need to know the cost estimate if I had it done professionally. I know it will be expensive but I want this truck only.
