Dragon still sounds cooler.

Do we think the particulate filter thing that robs us of HP can be removed? Or do we think it won't even come with that in states that don't require it?

Ford Escape production ends in 2025 - Ford will focus on Bronco Sport as the compact crossover of choice.

Do you have a source for this info? Thanks.

Current Dragon 1.5 3 cylinder has 181 hp at 6000 rpm and 190 ft lbs of torque at 3000 rpm. What are the specs of the MPC ecoboost?

Aging ? What a ridiculous statement !!!

In the Mavericks HP dropped from 250 to 238 for the 2.0 EB. It is a result of the gasoline particulate filter. However, the design with it's combination of both Port and Direct Injection opens up new possibilities for tuners to boost the horsepower. Haven't seen what the Bronco Sport ratings are with the new 2.0 design.

...MPC will be a smoother engine with improved performance, reliability & fuel efficiency

Just got a 2025 1.5L.

Is this the new MPC engine?
Is it dual injection, thus will not have intake valve fouling and other problems of the previous engines?
Whenever I plug my VIN into a decoder it lists engine as Dragon.

Yes, that is the MPC engine in your 2025.
