WiFi hot spot. It's on every other 2018 F150. That's the one option, should it happen, that I want to retro-fit. For my wife/daughter on the long drives. 30GB for $20 is a good deal these days.

I agree. Using my phone as a WiFi hotspot is so difficult.

Those who want a V8, why do you want to go backwards in terms of horsepower and torque?

More low end torque. Better platform to mod. Reliability. Less maintenance. Sound. No boost lag. Easier to modulate throttle off road. Far less heat soak. No fake engine sounds through the speakers.

Loved my 6.2, don't miss it at all. Only upgrade i'd want in a 2019 would be my ass in its seat if I happen to wear my 17 out by then.

Turbocharged engines are simpler than larger cylinder counts. One spinning turbo and some duct work versus everything needed to support two additional cylinders. More moving parts = more opportunities for failure.

You are also obsessed with your truck's torque at 1k rpm, but this ain't a diesel with a 3k redline. You would be impressed with how much more power your truck has if you let it get up to 4-5k rpm. But hey, if you enjoy tooling around at 1k rpm, have at it.

False. More unique parts and more unique systems = more complexity and more chances for failure.

I know exactly what my engine produces at higher RPMs. But why rev it up if you don't have to? This is exactly why Ecoboosts get such poor real world fuel economy. Always have to be on the gas winding the **** out of it and in the boost to make any power.

Wrong. More parts = more opportunities for failure. It's not rocket science, but a person needs better than average intelligence to understand it.

Average real world fuel economy on this forum is around 16mpg. What MPG do you get out of your less powerful 6.2?

Lots of guys on this forum upgraded to the G2 and I haven't seen one of them complain about the loss of power or decrease in fuel milage versus their G1. Quite the opposite and most are impressed with the increased performance.

Hey guys look, I found a video of Truckzor eating an "apple" when he was a kid.
