Engine Warm up

New 2017 2.7 Eco. Why does it take like 3 min for the engine to warm up. I mean its pinned at 1.5 RPM and then slowly goes down to under one.

Are you wondering if 3 minutes is too long for it to take to warm up or is 3 minutes quick? Your post needs some clarification.

I start my 16 2.7, put it in drive and go. The 1st mile of my work commute is 20 mph.. then 35...45. Out of my 3 mile, 7 minute commute it blows heat around 2 miles out.
So yeah takes awhile to warm up.

Mine will drop below 1000 rpm in a minute or less on a cold start.

@ 2015 , 3 min+ is long IMO, never had a vehicle that does that. My 05 was real quick and the ford Focus is real quick.

Basically is this normal for these ?

The truck won't blow warm air until the engine thermostat opens, so hot coolant can circulate through the heater core. Most fuel injected engines have a 195 degree (or higher),thermostat installed.
