That’s not heat soak. That’s a small engine under very heavy load with an unspooled turbo.

Ford announced yesterday that the manual transmission will be available with the Sasquatch 35" tire package, contra its earlier guidance, apparently in response to customer interest/tweeting/online petitions.
