What's a kilometer?

I didn't know that, and would tend to challenge that statement. However, we are talking about production engines, not one-off engineering marvels that make it into Ken Block's cars and only last 1000 miles.
Turbos run on every diesel on the road. They run 500k+ miles. It's old technology but it works
A European turbo 4 is designed much different than an American v8. They are mostly internally balanced no need for harmonic balances and rev much higher.
I had 120k miles on an 06 gti with never a motor issue. It was chipped put out 30 psi and 300 hp and 325 tq. Still got 34 mpg.
I'm all for turbos and you don't hear the constant whine of an sc
As for aluminum fords been using aluminum hoods for years. My 01 ranger had aluminum hood and an aluminum tailgate.
Aluminum can be worked like steel just not as many times. It just changes the repair process. Look at vettees, they don't repair panels, they replace them because they are fiberglass.
People are just against change and progress.
Id take a turbo 6 over this antiquated 6.2 any day

Its Canadian for ******** counting
So you really think turbos are the only thing that can make an engine powerful and fuel efficient? Explain to me why we have 400+ horsepower n/a v-8s that get 26 mpg now when the last time we had 400+ horsepower n/a v-8s they got 10 mpg or less
I'm not against progress and change, I'm against giving up on progress and change in favor of the easy route, why should we give up big blocks for turbo 6 cylinders? Because manufacturer's can be lazy and just get power from a fuel sipper by slapping a turbo on it? A big v-8 is just as capable of getting good fuel mileage as a little v-6 if we perfected the n/a engine for efficiency, raptors are already capable of 16+ mpg on the freeway from the factory, and like you said the 6.2 is the most antiquated of all of Ford's engines, if they were as up to date as the 5.0L or 5.8L they could be capable of 20+ mpg in raptor trim
Turbos don't equal fuel efficiency, they equal squeezing power out of a small engine, efficiency of the engine to utilize every drop of gasoline put into the engine at it's absolute maximum equals fuel efficiency, and you get more power out of the equation that way too
