Yes, I did. I much prefer having buttons for changing the HVAC airflow rather than the touchscreen only. I also wanted cloth seats.
We should start a new poll on this topic, lol.......
My '18 GT Premium has both actual HVAC buttons and touchscreen controls for the HVAC. Temp., fan speed, AC on/off, defrost, recirc., etc., are available to change from either location. Was that a change from the '15s?
I think 460 crank hp is on the low side, but I don't think it's 500 crank hp, but would say 475-480 hp is not out of the question for a stock Gen 3 Coyote. That said, the Gen 3 also has better low end torque than the Gen 1/2 Coyotes, combined with the A10 and a PP1 3.55 torsen rear-end, makes for a much quicker car.
The gearing of the '18+ MT-82 is unfortunate; could have been better. Ford nailed it in the A10, not so much in the M6 of the Gen 3 coyote cars.
You cannot change where your airflow goes unless you go into the touchscreen. Ford chose the dumb path of having dedicated buttons for Max AC, Max Defrost instead of using that button space for upper vents, lower vents. On the base, you simply turn and hold the temp knob all the way cold or hot to access those same functions. The same could've been done on the temp controls for the premium. It's simply design/styling people not being very smart about overall usability.
Yeah, it does - and I realize the Gen 3 has more power, decent more at the lower end, a ton more TQ in the mid-range, the A10 is a crazy fast, the engine pulls to 7500 RPM, etc., but it __still__ feels like much more than the Ford documented 25HP difference. I guess it's one of those sum-of-the-parts sort of things. My stock '19 felt much quicker than my tuned '16, but of course, that's Apples-to-Artichokes with the M6 PP vs. the A10 PP.
Well right off the hop, no A/C or alternator. They may just have a belt from the crank pulley to the water pump, but I doubt it. And that JLT 14 horse only haha. In a dyno room with no heat shield all kinds of fans to make sure it sucks in cool air.
I fully agree, I have a '19 and no complaints at all!
Ooooh....yeah.....good point.What accessory drives are on that engine they Dyno’d? I cannot tell. So I’m thinking the extra horses could be coming from the lack of parasitic loss of drive accessories (ac compressor, alternator, etc)
I do think the gen 3 is under rated but like others have posted more in the 470-480 hp range. That’s what my arm chair engine building experience tells me
I’m would assume at minimum a water pump pulley. And like mentioned above they tested in most likely a cool room(not near as hot as an engine bay,etc), with the lack of a couple of pulleys is why it was coming right up to the 500 mark stock. They did run full exhaust but it seems the factory headers are pretty decent.
