I have a 16 F150 SCrew 4x4 with a 5.0. I love it. My new work truck is a 20 same as mine but the 2.7 eco. This thing flies. I will not be buying another V8. These turbo V6’s are very impressive.

I hear ya. I was talking the price differential between regular and premium. It can be $1 extra markup per gallon here in Chicagoland. I've got a car that uses premium and that is quite a jump in price. But yeah, the overall prices look higher in California.Not doubting your comment, but looking up the average price of premium fuel in Chicago right now, it's about 50 cents cheaper than regular fuel here in California. I'd say you got it pretty good even if it's still considered high for the nation.
It won't void your warranty if done by Ford, and as Jeff said, will cost about $900 for the tune. But it will cost a lot more at the gas pump. Around here, 93 octane costs about 40-50 cents per gallon more than 87 octane.What is the Ford performance tune? About how much does it cost and will it void the warranty?
Wont void warranty but it will be reduced to 3/36K instead of 5/60KIt won't void your warranty if done by Ford, and as Jeff said, will cost about $900 for the tune. But it will cost a lot more at the gas pump. Around here, 93 octane costs about 40-50 cents per gallon more than 87 octane.
Assuming the turbo is the same unit in the Ranger, boost doesn't really come on strong until about 2700 RPM, and at highway speeds (70-75 MPH), the engine RPM should be right below the boost threshold at around 2000-2300 RPM, depending on your wheel sizing...so it should be staying out of the boost threshold at highway speeds to help fuel economy, but can easily build it up quickly if you need to accelerate at the last second.Hello, turbo noob here. I am going with the 2.3l manual on the BL. On these Ford 2.3L's when does the turbo kick in, speed, rpm,...? Is it always in at 70mph...? I won't be towing anything, worst case is a 110lb rtt and some camping gear, 2 people. Thanks.
Thanks for the info. 2700 rpm seems kind of low. I run my manual Mitsu at 70mph or higher and I'm over 3k rpm.Assuming the turbo is the same unit in the Ranger, boost doesn't really come on strong until about 2700 RPM, and at highway speeds (70-75 MPH), the engine RPM should be right below the boost threshold at around 2000-2300 RPM, depending on your wheel sizing...so it should be staying out of the boost threshold at highway speeds to help fuel economy, but can easily build it up quickly if you need to accelerate at the last second.
