Deny claims. Just saying, the 5.7 was so robust the S/C didn't void the warranty. That's impressive.

BTW I'm fighting with my insurance over getting my SL bumpers fixed. They're trying to weasel out of it saying it's wear and tear... I don't think so. I'll take this one to the end.
Toyota sold actually the supercharger up to 2015 and it was covered under your existing warranty.

N62 should be added as well, yes the N/S63s are amazingly profitable engines for me!

List is accurate as far as I've seen
Makes sense. So dodge now has a reliable transmission.

Ironically probably the most reliable transmission in a half ton pickup, given the issues that the Ford and GM 10 speeds have been having.

Extremely so, it's about damn time too because there is a large gap of time between the 727 and this!

Ford is the same way. Depending on the year, there are Roush (Roots) or Magnussen (Whipple) superchargers that do not void the Coyote's warranty, as long as they are installed by a Dealership or ASE-certified mechanic.

I have no doubt the Coyote is incredibly stout.

It would be my choice no question if I were buying a Ford truck.

Slap the factory super on during the buying process so you roll off the lot with the full experience

@AJT123 It didn’t reach the reserve. It was at $86k with like 5 min left then the bidding got crazy.




Also watched a video of this YouTuber testing the Tundra TRD Pro iforce max fuel economy. I believe with 33 inch Falken AT tires.







Then below is the mpg while towing a 8k lbs enclosed trailer. Now sure of his speeds while testing
