The new for 2023 Ford Turbocharged 406 cu in V-8 Hot Rod Pickup

[TimeWarpF100]

I figured the 406 would get ya to click . .

Anyone else take advantage of the new 406 500hp 1200tq in a Regular Cab Pickup?
which of course is the 6.7 HO

I ordered a new 2023 F250 XL Regular Cab 4x4 base model with the 406 HO
Thinking this very well could be a 13 second factory F250?

The new HO is supposed to be only 10% of engine production for the new 2023 F series trucks

Thought about doing a 4x2 but adding 4x4 only around 2500 more and figured it would be needed for traction
My dealer said they could have truck of my choice built in 6 weeks or less and I could order whatever I wanted as long as it was Lariat or under trim.
I ordered with Lightest possible 4x4 and did narrowest tire and tallest gear 3.31 Locking of course.
Did not notice until I got the window sticker it will have manual hubs

Ordered April 11, 2023 it had VIN April 13th and sent to plant in production on April 20th. Build day of April 29th which was Saturday.
Have not verified it was actually built but the KY truck plant has been spot on.

Should  be a great Hot ROD that will tow 20,000 bumper pull and 22,700 on gooseneck 5th wheel which I also ordered along with Camper Special Package.

Should be a fun truck and after selling the F100R this would be great addition.

By early reports 25 MPG could be possible with this combo. Less the 131 lb 12,000 lb factory ordered winch Curb weight expected to be 7011 lbs.

Very long order list in 1st month of order banks opened had 240,000 orders!
Since my dealer has about as good of CSI as one can get they were awarded a what do you need build it now Super Duty order spot.
The GM of dealer asked if I wanted it and I even waited a couple weeks before saying ok.
From date of order to complete ready to ship was only 20 days.  Others have been waiting for orders since last October.

Dealer said any truck combo you want any engine as long as it is Lariat or lesser trim level.

Ordered April 11th Vin on April 13th sent to plant on April 20th then Scheduled for Build April 29th. Truck shows built May 1st this morning I got email from Ford saying truck is built and released from plant awaiting shipment and gave date of June 7th For delivery. Should be close to that. Family vacation June 9th about a 2000 mile trip so will see if it shows in time. Only bad part this trip will be 27 miles of dirt road. (LOL)

F/A me will be picking rocks out of the tire treads . .

Can't wait to see how it does in the 0-60 and 1/8, 1/4 mile. I think it's possible it will run  a 13 second quarter. Fastest factory Super Duty yet?
be good for a 7100 lb truck

I've got a 2022 F250 FX4 XLT, CC, long box and am entirely satisfied with it. A few small glitches in the 15 months I've had it but nothing major. 6.7 with a 3.31 rear
I pull easily 21 MPG driving 70mph on I-80 while heading to Colorado. Driving over 70mph the mileage drops about 2-3 MPG. The 10 speed trans is fantastic. While on the freeway I drive in Eco mode.

At a car gathering last Friday a nondescript late model white F250 2wd single cab went by me as I headed to my car. Just as he got past me I hear him step on it, it loads up, starts belching black smoke and from a 30mph roll it lights the tires for two blocks. The smoke was so thick I couldn't see the black lines for ten seconds.

Keep your fuel clean, filters fresh, and air out of the fuel system.  The CP4 HP fuel pump is still the weak link on those motors, and it doesn't take much (just a little bit of water or DEF or air) loss in lubrication for them to put shavings into the fuel system, which can quickly lead to injector damage, melted cylinders, etc.  Keeping the pumps properly lubricated is absolutely critical to the pumps durability. 

There is a HUGE backlog for reman engines right now, primarily due to this reason.  We have been cranking them out for Diamond Advantage (Navistar's aftermarket engine / component division) for the past 6 months.  Hand-to-mouth.  As fast as we get core and new parts, they get remaned and go out the door.  CAT-Franklin (Ford's primary reman supplier) can't begin to keep up with demand. 

Most sources I have seen are claiming a 7% failure rate within the warranty period.  How much of that is due to contaminated fuel, improper maintenance, etc, who knows.

They said that it might only be 60000. Is this true.

Yep right on 60k plus I ordered the 12,000 lb winch.  Truck could not be sold until winch was installed and that took 8 months for it to show up. On window sticker not a after the fact.  I drove it yesterday for first time and it will light em up from a 45-50 mph roll. It was awesome! Only drove 8-10 miles on side streets that were in industrial part of town nothing there.  It was pulling as hard or harder at 80 mph has it was 45-50. Spun from a roll to 80 when I left off.

I must have forgot how to post pics as it says jpeg not allowed.
