Well, now. Don't diss my 2.7 Sport Trim that I happened to get because it was the F150 the dealer was willing to give me the best deal on in 2016! Because of the 3.55 axle, it had the best mpg of any truck ive owned (low 20s consistently). That also reduced its tow rating to about 6,800, unfortunately. A 3.73 would have towed more, with lower mpg. The bed tie-downs were standard. There was a shifter switch-activated, Sport setting which changed the sound of the muffler, geared down the gears for more torque . . . The precurser to the Sport setting now available in Bronco "modes". I could spin the tires with ease. And the 4wd system was really nice on the beach and snow. The 2.7 ECO was flawless. Nice truck. I agree about the video, it was more of a theoretical overview, not apparently experienced based with that engine!Decent video, but definitely an "outside looking in" perspective. He certainly seems to have more familiarity with: engines; their construction; and the components, materials, and manufacturing processes that increase strength and reliability. I just wish he knew something about F150s before he started describing it, haha.
Funny bits:
This is a really good video or start of a series for people unfamiliar with engines and their components but there are some points that I wish had a more in-depth or scientific phrase or sentence included.

- "...in the 1500 segment." Uh, you mean half-ton pickups?
- Couldn't say a certain HP per liter without giggling.
