I wonder if Ford is working on the Gen 3 version of the 2.7 or if the evolution will stop at the current Gen 2.

If one were to buy a truck that came off the production line today, it would come with revised cam phasers, correct?

Not to ask a dumb question, but is the Ranger with the 2.7 noticeably faster than the F-150 with the 2.7 being that it's a lighter truck?

Thanks for the reply. Do we know if the cam phaser breakages are caused by the design or by a quality control issue? I wonder why Ford has not addressed it yet. I was going to ask if Ford offers a 10-year warranty, and how much it costs. Thanks.

Well, that's not good. I mean, shit just shouldn't be rusting out. And there should be a bulletproof fix for the cam phasers by now. Thanks for letting me know.

Hey @Dingus83 Not yet. I sat in an XLT 2.7 and a Lariat 2.3 last Friday. Beautiful trucks. The tech is mind blowing compared to my 2009 Tacoma and maybe even to the 2024 Tacoma. I looked at a Raptor from the outside. To be honest, the Raptor is a bit much for me in terms of styling. I...

Yeah. I don't think I'll have to go that far. I'm in the Philadelphia area. I'm sure one will pop up within a 50-mile radius at some point.

How does she ride on-road?

This is well worth a read:

I just realized that the 2.7 powerplant was launched in 2014. I'd like to think that Ford has it fully debugged by now.

Is the oil-immersed belt concept one of those things that's so idiotic that it's brilliant? I must be missing something (I'm being serious).

Is it possible to buy under MSRP if you order from the factory? Is it possible to avoid port-installed scams er I mean options if you order from the factory? Thanks.

Does anybody have detailed suspension specifications on XLT, Lariat, and Raptor? Specs on the coil-overs, shocks, springs, control arms, etc.? Thanks.

Does Ford have any plans to address that? It's a wee bit messed up to pay $65k for a mid-size truck and have it rust out on the drive home from the dealer.

On the topic of quality, I've heard that Raptor driveshafts rust within a week of delivery. Is there any truth to that?

I've heard that several automakers have been having paint problems. I wonder if the root cause is stricter and stricter EPA regs.

Does Raptor have a suspension setting that works well on-road? Like a super nice ride, but still sporty and tight in the corners? Thanks.

How does the Lariat ride when compared to the XLT and Raptor? Which of the three will have the best on-road ride? Thanks.

I wonder how Azure Gray Metallic will age in terms of style. In other words, 7 years from now, is it going to be the equivalent of having shag carpet and wood paneling in your house?
