No way. Morgan Freeman is the man. Ask Dan Mac.

Cool vid. Ford sure is spending some money.

neither one...sam elliot or james earl jones blows both out of the water and it's not even close.

That explains why SCORE made a new class 2.

Friggin' sweet, would love to have one of those motors, much easier to get better performance than a v8.

They are showing the hp as 365, torque as 420 for the F-150 versions of the engine. On pump gas. And a hundred pounds lighter than the V-8 it replaces. The real question is will Ford see the wisdom of selling that motor/trans without a truck attached to it. It would be possible for a local Ford dealer to retrofit your old Ford truck (that gets under 10 mpg) with their new motor that gets a claimed 23 mpg. If they really wanted to think outside the box they would offer that motor/trans to retrofit all the fullsize trucks out there. Make that available for a reasonable price, throw in a rebate for replacing your old motor/trans and they could find a million buyers. That's a lot of jobs created, and a lot of truck owners driving more efficient trucks.
