    Love mine. Checks so many boxes. It hits high points for work, "truck stuff" like towing, super comfortable for the family on trips and keeps up with friends toys off-road. 3.5 eco boost is no slouch (passes most vehicles without breaking a sweat in 'eco mode' on the highway) and I agree with your comment about choosing 3.5 or 5.0 is purely a test of whether or not you're ready to be a 'grown up' :)

    Very happy with my 401a with the 3.5 ecoboost. I don’t regret going with this engine over the 5.0 coyote after driving both. Torque is almost instant and daily drivability is unlike any other truck engine. Very impressed.

      I would argue that the V8 is more reliable. Not just me talking…I think Ford mechanics would agree.

The sound alone makes it worth it, as does the throttle response. Add in long term reliability (over 100k) and to me it’s a no brainer. So happy with the coyote.

    I drove both the raptor and the tremor. I ended up going with the tremor 402A cause I still need to tow my boat and trailers around. But I still get some good off-road capabilities. It's so plush, but still a solid truck. Plus, I already have a sxs, but I didn't really need the raptor. Ultimately, the towing capacity is what made my decision.

    Don't forget, with the 5.0L you can add either the Ford Performance (Whipple 3.0L) or the Roush (Eaton 2.65L) supercharger kit, either of which comes with a 36 mon/36k mile powertrain warranty. Ford Performance also has a version of their SC kit that works with the dual alternators that come with Pro Power Onboard. The Roush kit will not work with Pro Power Onboard. The Ford kit bumps the output to 700 HP and 590 LB FT while the Roush kit has 705 HP and 635 LB FT. Can't get there with the EB, at least not with a warranty.
    I just bought a new 2023 Tremor with the 5.0L and Pro Power Onboard along with a boatload of other options for less than MSRP. Can you guess what one of the first mods will be?

    • @jimsteinway695
      @jimsteinway695 Год назад

      Without the supercharger the 3.5 is faster and can tow better. The 5.0 is designed for the Mustang. High revving low torque motor. The 3.5 has 100 more torque . If you’re buying for a show truck the 5.0 is ok. If it’s a working truck then the 3.5 is a better motor. You need to change the oil more but there a reason Toyota went to the 3.5 twin turbo. The 5.0 is not a good choice for a truck. If you want the coyote buy a mustang that’s the proper application
      According to my Ford dealer mechanics the 2nd gen 3.5 is every bit as reliable as the 5.0

    @kylesummers1565 Год назад +1

    I'm not too sure about the HP claim for the V-6. I think they are essentially the same for 2023. The twin-turbo does have the torque advantage though. I chose the coyote with the intention of supercharging it. After getting 20+ mpg combined over a few thousand miles, I am dealing with a conundrum. I'm getting better mpg than anyone I know with the twin turbo (calculated mpg, not what the truck says).
    I bought the truck for the off-road goodies (Torsen) and (to a lesser extent) as a protest to Toyota removing tow hooks this year and still not having a Tundra rear locker (and dropping a very reliable but gas thirsty V-8) because this will eventually be a work truck. My biggest complaint with the Tremor so far is occasional CPU glitches. I started it up one day and it sounded like it was running on 3 cylinders. I turned it off and when I started it again, everything was fine. Oh, the other issue was that while driving on the highway last week the collision alarm went off with not even a grasshopper within a 100 yards. Peace, Love!!

    The price comparison is an irrelevant factor in my opinion as it only weighs on folks that don’t understand the two trucks.
    Even if they were the same price as optioned, folks needing tow capacity equipped daily driver will likely still gravitate to the Tremor, where as true off-road fans will need to give up some of that for the off-road capabilities offered by the Raptor.
    In this sense they’re two different vehicles more so than two different trim levels as the price comparison implies.

    I would take the 5.0. The 3.5 Ecoboost is much more problematic in my experience and I have owned 3. I drive defensively and conservatively so if there is a 40 hp difference it would make much difference to me. Also, if I'm getting close to maxing out the truck for towing I think I need to be in a bigger truck. I tow a lot. Cargo trailers flat beds, heavy equipment.... With that said, I do think the 3.5 is a very good engine as long as it holds up.

  • @Nate-zy5ce

    I love the look of the raptor, and that buttery smooth drive of its rear five link coil suspension, but I am concerned about the width of the tires washing me around from side to side in tracks made for more narrow standard vehicles, from trails to highway tracks in deep snow between lanes during big snowstorms, and the Tremor is basically the standard width maybe an inch or two wider so fine. Kind of like the Raptor is an open space runner and the Tremor is a trail runner. So I'm torn. Any thoughts on that? I'm also considering a loaded Platinum with the fx4 and some mods like a lift and offset, to get those luxury seats for the long highway drives. Any thoughts on that? Wish I could get the Raptor's 5 link rear suspension and the Platinum's max luxury massaging, reclining seats all in the Tremor. Round and round. Help.

      Power is the same, 400 horsepower. Torque is not power. The 5.0 actually is capable of more horsepower than the 3.5 on the stock file, since it’s a flex fuel engine and most dynos show 360-370 horse at the rear wheel stock on E-85. That puts the 5.0 well over 400 horsepower before any tune is introduced.

    Totally incorrect on engines, stock the 5.0L is 20 more horsepower than the EcoBoost. It’s a flex fuel engine and E-85 capable, and makes 420 on E-85. Unless you tune the EcoBoost and void your warranty it can’t make the same horsepower as the V8. Both make 400 horsepower on premium.

      -Then there's a 90% it saves you in emissions.
      -Then there is the fact that the 5.0L can easily fit a front hidden winch!
      -It can also be supercharged to over 700 hp with warranty!
