    Help me understand 2018 2.7 F-150 towing

    So for the life of me, I do not understand the 2018 2.7L F-150 rating... I figure Ford has to be underrating it, because none of this makes sense to me. So I currently have a 2017 Z71 Colorado and have been window shopping new F-150s and I want good MPG plus the ability to tow well, so the...

    2020 Hybrid F-150: 450 HP / 600 TQ??

    So I'm seeing some speculation that the power plant in the new Aviator (3.0TT V6 + hybrid) may find it's way into the 2020 F-150, or at least indicate what kind of numbers we should expect. I haven't been able to find any real speculation other than a few articles saying this power plant seems...

    Stock v6 rims and new tires

    For sale are the rims and brand new tires off my wife's v6. The tires have virtually no miles on them, we literally drove straight home from the dealership and changed rims, but they're doing nothing more than taking up space at this time. $100 in Houston, just come and get them.

    Question about fans in series

    So I just got a new gaming laptop ( I know a desktop is better, but this doubles as a work computer) and while the thing runs surprisingly cool (62-64c on average) I need to build a stand to raise it up a little (take some strain off my neck) and figured I may as well throw some aux case fans in...

    Fox Mustang vs 5.0 Miata

    So i'm toying around with the idea of another project. I've owned a 5.0 Mustang and a 2001 NB miata and road raced both and I loved them both for different reasons. I loved the HP of the 5.0, and the s197 handles very well, but Oh My God was it expensive to keep brakes and tires on the thing...

    How does Cylinder Deactivation actually save fuel?

    I am aware of how it "works," but my question is how does it actually save fuel? A vehicle needs to produce a certain power level to net 0 rotational losses, wind resistance, friction, etc and maintain a constant speed, lets call it 20 hp at 65 mph. 20 hp should have a definite brake specific...

    Engineering question of sorts: Purely for the sake of discussion

    So i'd like to discuss electric superchargers... Not really an electric turbo, or the cheap stuff you find on Ebay, but rather an actual electric driven supercharger. So i know there's electric turbos where basically an electric motor replaces the turbine side of the turbo to provide boost...
