2015 Lincoln Navigator: More Power out of the 3.5L Ecoboost

[SRT82ECOBOOST]

Looks like the boys at Ford/Lincoln are squeezing a little more horsepower out of the stock Ecoboost 3.5L V6:

As far as SUVs go, you can't beat an Escalade.....but I sure do love that engine in the Lincoln!!!

I like the new ecoboost badge on the new Navi.. nice and simple no stupid leaf.

That is because that is exactly what it is!  This is nothing more than a refresh of the same platform introduced in 2004. I'm pretty disappointed that this is the case. I guess it will be 2017 or beyond before we get a new platform.

That's an example of why the Lincoln badge is not worth what it once was.....
Don't start in you MKS guys.. you have a great ride..
The navigator "redesign" is just an example (and maybe an insult to us all) ...what i'm saying. For example< the increase hp is not much if you consider previous EB 3.5s (like all ours) even without a tune!
