Uh Porsche is consistently ranked as one of the most reliable auto companies every year, even above Lexus and Toyota

Wondering if they had been sourcing part’s from the 3.6 FCA bin? And Pentastar what's the deal with that? It’s just the old Chrysler logo from the 60’s on all their product’s.

That’s the name/series of the 3.6L. It’s the Chrysler Pentastar 3.6L V6. And possibly with sourcing out parts, that could be why they’re reliable if what the other person said is true.

Yeah, I was being a smart ass, I know the the name behind it but why not name all their engine’s Pentastar?

One search.
JD, TrueDelta, CR and others always has Porche ranked at the top. JD currently has them above Toyota and behind Lexus.

Chevy, ford, Toyota, Subaru, and many others all make a 3.6 as well... been a while for ford, but they've existed. I'm sure there's more that I can't think of off the top of my head.

Didn’t the explorer and f-150 have a 3.6 recently?

Great question, I think their turbo v6 was a 3.5 eco boost? But I'm not 100% positive. Not much of a ford guy lol... I imagine the Taurus probably shared the engine too

Yeah I feel like when I originally built the F-150(before getting my RAM) the base motor was a six. Maybe a 3.5? Yeah I think it was the duratec 3.5. You’re right, 3.5 no boost. [emoji42]

Ah, that sounds right.
