Twin turbo heat overheating issues?

[juniorbravo]

I live in Phoenix. 120 degree days are frequent in the summer. Does anyone have engine heat issues in hot weather?

Welcome to the place. Ford built these for the desert and places like where you live. You will be just fine! Are you thinking of getting a Raptor?

The faster you drive, the more airflow, so just keep it moving.

I wonder if Dodge tested the TRX in the same way, or they just threw a monster motor in and called it a day?

apparently they did.

You are probably onto something there! Bet that thing pops a rad or two out there this summer. Would like to see a TRX make it through Furnace Creek Ranch in the summer.

OP one thing I learned in Arizona don't block any cooling airflow paths with big bumpers or lights ect. Learned that on my GEN 1 .

It literally has a mode called "Baja", you'll be fine.

I live in Phoenix as well and last summer was one of the hottest on record. No issues. I do run a couple of gallons of E85 in the summer months though (per tuner's suggestion).

No, haven't had any issues. Did take the plate mount off the front bumper though. A/C will cost you at least a MPG.
