Ask an Engineer
I feel like this section should be getting a lot more traffic than it should! Here's an official "ask an engineer" section on FTE to ask Ford engineers questions about trucks!

6.2 hp/ tq through the years
I am most interested in the 2016 to 2017, but from the beginning of production which years were there actually component changes, ie cam, head mods, to increase hp and torque and which years were the changes merely programming changes?

This whole thing is nothing more than canned responses ran through a PR / Marketing filter.
They are doing for web search hits and nothing else.
If they were really serious you'd be able to ask any and all questions all day long...not just the topics they want to talk about.
You will never see an answer to why they are converting the 17 SD to aluminum when the performance of the 150 aluminum body / box has been failing miserably at construction sites in the upper Midwest?
You'll just get answers like we tested it with 2 bags of dog food and you are obviously abusing the box / body.
Other questions as to why in the heck they traction control can't be turned off permanently will fall on deaf ears.

I've never heard of failing aluminum boxes or bodies on the new 150's. In what way did they fail?
