Mowers don't end up with car engines. Not the money for it OR the emission requirements. Here in Australia we have had 100% propane only ford factory built vehicles. I own one. Cranks longer to start but grear for high mileage. The engines are actually higher compression than standard with parts taken from the sports version.

The small engine market is already dominated by Kubota, Yanmar, Honda, Kawasaki, Kohler and Briggs who’ve been building these engines for decades. Mower engines are totally different animals to a car engine, they’re built to run at full rpm constantly and give maximum power, car engines are not designed for that. Yanmar and Kubota dominate the liquid cooled diesel and petrol small engines out there and they’re ultra reliable engines. Kubota have been offering bi fuel engines for a while now capable of petrol or LPG fuel operation and Kawasaki, Briggs and Kohler have been building EFI engines for years too.

Nah, these engines aren’t designed to run at peak power and sit there all day.

Unfortunately our plant was shut down in july 2023. It was a great time there for me and my colleagues. I worked there 24 yrs.

So you can see when a bolt drops on the floor!

Probably, their 3 cylinder has cylinder deactivation.

It is...?

Ok kid, the ford 998cc ecoboost, makes no 'woosh' sounds, nor is it 'growly' it's as silent as ever, where as a subie, is all 'growly' with its 2500 cc turbo boxer 4 motor, all 'growl', and lots of 'woosh'. Before trying to sound cool on the Internet; learn to spell, learn how to use grammatical features, and clue up on your cars

bello1bello I have a fiesta with this engine and it makes no turbo noise its super quiet. I also have a WRX that makes a nice boxer rumble and turbo noises.

calm down

It has a turbo

Ranjit I drive 100 miles a day 50 miles each way to work all highway 70 mph getting 42mpg.

Thomas Silsby then I stand corrected, may be good on flat lands, but I live in the Rockies and will not take wife’s car corolla on the hiway, cause if you need to pass someone it can be dangerous.

I've only had my focus for 10k miles. I have the 6 speed manual trans. If you know how to shift then it is very peppy. You can keep it in the power band and it will surprise you. But it's still only a 3cyl. I keep having to remind myself that time and time again. It's not ment to go fast it's ment to save me money. So far I'm happy with it. Cheers.

This engine is turbocharged. Now, if you know anything about petroleum fueled engines, normally aspirated engines will always lose some fuel efficiency and power at higher altitudes. But when fuel is pressurized, the amount of power lost is less than 2%. This leads me to suspect that your knowledge of engines is rather limited....

Thomas Silsby Its turboed, its not a slug. Id run it like you need to drive. 3 cylinders doesnt mean its not well built, it means it has less moving parts= more efficient.

yes but these cars are in no way shape or form american, ford realises the shouldnt e involved in european car design they let europeams crack on on there own -this car is designed in uk built in germany and romania

Don't worry Dearborn still makes all of the final decisions.

Sorry, the europeans spell it wrong.

No we dont. Like Americans spell tire when its actually spelt tyre.

No you can have 100, 120 and a 140 hp engine

no option, my 1.6L 16V has 110hp

what is that reply saying

How much horsepower does it take to make a car go 100 Kph? Only about twenty.

Look up million mile ford crown vic f150 ford is the best better than toyota I had toyota it fell apart once I used it for work sad

Those statements have nothing to do with each other. You might want to research logical fallacies.
