Sierra Dan Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Nothing wrong with Racing. Nothing wrong with you guys that really dig turbo engines. For me, turbo's are like cheating. After-all, a woman is not the same without makeup! I am just curious as to Why Traditional V8 engines are compared to the newer modern Turbo Engines. It is a no brainer that a turbo is going to outperform a naturally aspirated V8 any day as long as the engines are similar in architecture and displacement. I guess a fair comparison or test can be made to Ford's 2.7 Turbo once the 2.7L Chevy Turbo Silverado hits the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KARNUT Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 On a DD 1/2 ton, choices turbo vs cylinder deactivation V8, I’m going turbo. There’s always the 5.0.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03blackz71 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I recently have the switch a few months ago to an 18 f150 2.7l tt 10 speed 3.73 rear ratio. I can say this little engine would leave my old 13 silverado 6.2l in the dust. I love the power and mpg I get out of it. Sport mode is awesome. Normal driving I get 21 mpg and my last road trip I got 27 mpg. Still miss the v8 sound but I guess I can deal with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
