You think thats amazing? Its not like turbocharged trucks are a new thing.

Would you be surprised to find out that my 2.5L 4 cylinder starion goes uphill faster than my 1977 camaro with a whopping 5L V8?

The camaro has twice as many cylinders, and twice the displacement, therefore it should be much faster right? wrong :(

Please, find me another manuf in the US doing a fullsize pick up with a small, turbocharged engine.

It's a no poo poo fact that a small turbocharged engine can be just as capable, but it hasn't been done here before by anyone for this application. They're proving to their customer base that the new engine is not only decent, it does better in multiple applications and doesn't matter that it isn't a V8.

As I wrote in the Youtube comments section, it's a desperate attempt to undo years of advertising that said "only a V8 engine is good enough" now that a V8 can't/wont meet CAFE standards.

Pretty much.

My vain hope is that someday soon this leads to a 4 or 6 cyl diesel being available.

Turbocharged full size pick-ups are kind of a new thing, when they aren't diesels.

Does Chevy, Dodge, or Toyota make a full size with a gasoline turbo v6? No? That's why they tested it against the v8's.

Im not sure, but you may be technically right, however there was the syclone/typhoon:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GMC_Syclone
And there are lots of turbocharged diesels.

He claims it seems patently unfair to compare the 3.6L to the 5.3L and 5.7L, and that the other trucks are V8's but yet the 3.6L beats them, but fail to mention the turbo, or fuel efficiency.

My guess is they compared it to the V8s to mislead people into thinking that ford has created a truck with a smaller more fuel efficient motor, thats more powerful than the competition.

Content:
Heres a ford truck that looks pretty awesome. I cant imagine why anyone needs one, but its still pretty cool.

The Velociraptor 600 (supercharged V8 american full sized truck) looks even more awesome.

You can watch a lot of top gear UK online, like budget coupes, where clarkson breaks a perfectly good starion. He's such a clarkson.
