Ford looks to be in a death spiral. Would you rather have an expensive Turbo6 in your Ford pickup, or a Toyota with a V8? (Hint: higher temperatures and pressures lead to shorter engine lives)
This may be true, but decent metallurgy and not cranking the boost way up compensates for that. I had a 300ZX Turbo that I purposely kept at stock boost most of the time; I sold it at 280,000 miles and when last heard from it was still running around North Texas as a daily driver.
