I sure hope they figured out how to build forced induction cooling systems that don't fall to bits.
My last straw with ford was when I worked in Radiator shops. When we started getting these turbo'd Mercury cougars coming in with overheating problems. They built a charge air cooler into the radiator as a funky package and it was a nightmare to R&R, nasty to recore the rad and the whole thing was fragile. They used long headers on the rad core with no core on half of it so they could cram the air cooler in beside it. The things ran hot to begin with and then there was this unsupported section of radiator tank that would blow out over and over. I know I only worked on 3 of those cars but I'm sure I worked on each of them at least twice. I rebuilt countless cooling systems and this was decades ago but that stupid layout is burned into my memory. Ford;s history with turbo charging is not so good I hope they can get it right. Now if they would only put a little VW style diesel in a compact truck I might become a customer
