The Capitol police pretty much reinforced the stereotype of the donut chugging do nothing cop. This blow back is squarely on their own incompetence.Given that there will be massive firings over this and lengthy and probing investigations, I'm guessing morale is not too high.
Capitol Police officer 'dies by suicide' three days after MAGA riots
Is it the turbo Ecoboost or the naturally aspirated bigger V6.
All the companies are getting more HP out of smaller displacement engines but a truck engine is defined more by peak low end torque in how it’s used.
I’ve bumper pulled 14k lbs with my 6.2L gas F250. The diesel F250 does the same thing but turns at least 2k rpm less. I can do it intermittently just fine. The diesel can do it day in and day out. Extrapolate that more to the lower loads that light duty trucks see regularly (your boat... and mine) and that’s why I was chest thumping on the V8. The local dealership had a test rig setup with an F150 Ecoboost and a 4500lb trailer load. I test drive it and they were pointing out how it did just fine on pulling. I told them I agreed... and pointed out I was looking at the boost gauge the whole drive and it was in higher boost levels most of the drive. Thus... I’d probably never buy one.
