Mackintire Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 With the new CAFE rules does this mean Ford will need to bring the T6 to the US market? If so I would like mine to be a 4x4 quad cab with upcoming a 2.7 liter Ecoboost (code named Nano) engine and a 6 speed auto please. Please let us know, because otherwise I 'm going to probably jump on the Tacoma when they update the power train mid 2013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTwannabe Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Taco is overpriced, underpowered, and doesn't have a fully boxed frame or rear disc brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickF1011 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Taco is overpriced, underpowered, and doesn't have a fully boxed frame or rear disc brakes. Does a compact/midsize truck really need a fully boxed frame and rear disc brakes though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLPRacing Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Does a compact/midsize truck really need a fully boxed frame and rear disc brakes though? Only if it's overpriced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackintire Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 (edited) IMO, yes. Overpriced, due to a lack of competition. Add a class 4 hitch and the frame-rails become its boxed in. A fully boxed frame is probably overkill. It would be nice to have, but still overkill. Edited August 5, 2011 by Mackintire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Outrage Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 The Nissan Frontier has a more powerful V6 than the Toyota Tacoma. It also has a full-length boxed ladder frame and four wheel disc brakes on every single trim level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehaase Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I could see CAFE forcing the T6 and F150 programs to combine eventually, but probably not for another 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoldwizard Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I could see CAFE forcing the T6 and F150 programs to combine eventually, but probably not for another 10 years. Closer to 5-7 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 In any case FGord will have to make it's best selling F Truck, the F150 more fuel efficient but how they do that is the big question, hybrid? Echoboost? diesel? less weight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
