It probably is only 385 if you're running 87 octane
Odd, both foot notes say premium fuel.

"Horsepower and torque ratings based on premium fuel per SAE J1349® standard. Your results may vary. "

Probably just a typo.
My thought as well. I'm an engineer and I spend a disappointing amount of time reviewing and correcting incorrect technical specs in our marketing materials.


The spec page had two typos. HP, and both the ST and Tremor got 3.58 final drive ratio, not the 3.31

I don't think the information has updated regarding the choice to only use the 3.0 in the Tremor and ST.

as for the 385, was it ever 385 for standard models and 400 for Platinum/ST. I know on the Expedition, they would always give extra HP for the higher trims.
