Default Power Boost Torture Test

So far, so good. Seems they're as concerned as the guy that's going to buy one.

Fords torture test never caught the timing chain failures on the original EcoBoost. Never caught the Intercooler failures. Their 5.4 3V testing ads never caught the camphaser failures. Bunch of marketing BS imo. The true test is the test of time.

Yeah, but just imagine the possible problems if they did not do the testing like this.

We will never know what problems the testing found, how many initial problems there were, and how they fixed them.

That is why they do it.

Obviously picking on Ford makes you feel better but you can insert any car manufactures name in a "test of time" rant..

All manufacturers show their wear over time. The all have their problems.

Not sure the truth is picking on Ford.
