![]() ![]() And Ford has totally delivered with the next-generation version, as that’s available with a 288hp twin-turbo 3.0-litre V6 petrol.Īlthough this new motor’s 491Nm doesn’t quite measure up to the old one’s 500Nm – and probably won’t help with my second reservation – I am utterly convinced it will be more fun. The 2.0-litre diesel engine under the bonnet may well have 213hp and twin turbos, but my initial impressions from the original Raptor launch in Morocco remain intact – it just isn’t gutsy enough for a pickup that looks like this. No way! But, in the end the average consumption is what really matters.I therefore have only two reservations about 100% recommending this truck, and the first is probably not an issue for most people. But, there is no way that the same car driven hard would save fuel with a chip compared with stock. The fact that a chip may save fuel is due to the perception of the driver, the car moves quicker and you do not push it as much anymore. So, the stock software in the ECU will try to compensate, trying to bring things back to normal, which means more fuel, boost => more power. What the powerbox does is to alter the values from the sensors, such that the ECU will think the engine is running in a different regime in the current maps (which stay the same, opposed to a proper remapping). However, the dealer may not distinguish them from an honest fault, at least not from the first attempt. The way any powerbox makes more power is to inject different values than the sensors are normally sending to the ECU, which may look abnormal, so the ECU may log them as faults. The recording is not done by the DPChip (or any other for the matter), but by the car's ECU.
