High comp ,direct injection

Didn't give the entire picture....add a 3000 stall and Dana 60 (takes more power to turn than a stock 10 bolt) with 3.73 gears compared to stock 3.23....Stock cam is something like 202 @.450 /207 @ .460 - 116 Lsa to
a much healthier cam CCA-07-306 --- 230@ .510/ 244@ .540 (1.5RR)--- 112 LSA. Ported heads that flow well, CPU tuned, 1 3/4" headers 3" exhaust. It's balanced pretty well. It makes more than 420

It's not set up to pass emissions or for maximum mileage. I probably drive it harder now but I'm turning a higher rpm on the freeway than stock hence the mpg loss.

My point was that it's easier and cheaper to make power (and in my opinion more refined delivery) on a newer engine like an ecoboost for less work and less $$.

I believe that some of the major bike manufacturers have or are working on the same thing. The electronics are scary but the performance is impressive.

At less than v8 mpg they should pull like a freight train...I have quite a few customers who bought them and then sold them shortly thereafter to go back to v8 trucks. Guys who don't tow much or ever like them as unloaded they get good mileage but as soon as you hitch up to anything with some weight, they're working too hard and get poor fuel economy. One customer in particular was reporting sub 10mpg with a 16' box trailer, 7,000lb gvwr.

Regardless of how much fuel they use or don't use, they are one overly complicated piece of equipment. It's all cool when it's under warranty but when it has over 100k on the clock and repairs are on you're dime, it no longer seems cool when you're spending half what the truck is worth to fix it.

Yeah they do lack rotating mass torque. But yeah it's still a ford. Frickin Owners Really Dumb lol. That's ford. Make as complicated as possible. Old ford hot rods. Powered by Chevy. Clean, simple, and very universal

Can't disagree with that... A couple of years ago I had to pull the drivers side cylinder head off a 5.4 3v Triton on our '06 F-250 at work... Ungodly..and half of the engine is stuffed under the firewall...Chevy's are much simpler to work on.. At least with modern stuff

Ford shops around here pop that cab of in about 30min to do work like that
