You are correct in that the wind resistance played a massive factor in asking the turbo 4 petrol to work harder and boost more. The weight will add to that, but remember increasing in speed, the air resistance increases exponentially. That's why we use the 2.0 single and bi turbo diesels, as well as a 3.0 V6 on the high end model Rangers. More torque and gives a lot better fuel economy. Good video, got my sub today
So, super premium oil, oil change after mountain tow trip. Nice gauge package that tells you all that w/o aftermarket instruments. This is the exact region I'd be towing too - two motorcycles, camp gear.
Sorry about that, those clips didn’t make it to edit in time to post. For reference the oil temp stayed just above middle of the gauge. Under normal driving, it stays dead middle. In west Texas it got as high as 3/4 up the gauge. We also apologize for our mics failing. Not our best work. Thanks for watching.
Strain on the engine is at its peak during acceleration from a stop or crawl. After that...its the wind drag that becomes the dominant factor as it limits momentum. Anyway...being in constant boost would give me serious concerns over the engine and turbo longevity. Thats some serious heat build up.
Thank you! We probably have along the line. This business takes time, and we started about 10 years later than we wanted to. Thanks for the support, and we will see you at 300k!
The nice thing about turbo engines is that they compensate for the lower air density at higher elevation. Basically you don't lose as much power as you do with an NA engine.
They certainly do, but we have not done an apples to apples test to represent that. We do have the stock wheels/tires and might make that video if enough people want it.
@@TexasTruckChannel I'd like to see stock wheel/tire comparison to the wheel and tire combination you are currently using to see what the mpg difference is.
