Can a smaller engine actually produce more power? We go engine vs. engine. And, just for fun (and science), lumberjack vs. lumberjack.
From John Brenkus, host and creator of ESPN Sport Science comes Tough Science, a series in which he and his crew take a closer look at the science behind the 2015 F-150 through a variety of tests.
Throughout this series, we see how the 2015 F-150, with its 2.7L EcoBoost engine and weight reduction of up to 700 pounds (made possible by the high-strength, military-grade, aluminum alloy body), can handle an uphill battle.
We run the 2015 F-150 up a mountain – while towing a 7,000-lb. trailer full of lumber – to see if a 2.7L EcoBoost engine, in a lighter truck, can perform as well as last year’s best selling 5.0L V8 – with nearly twice the displacement!
We put its power, torque, and towing capability to the test. Can the 2015 F-150 beat the old industry standards? Is it possible to make the best selling truck on the market, even better?
