PRL Motorsports Intercooler – 2015–2020 Ford F-150 2.7L / 3.5L EcoBoost

FITS: 2015–2020 Ford F-150 2.7L / 3.5L EcoBoost

PRL Motorsports’ Intercooler for the 2015–2020 Ford F-150 2.7L and 3.5L EcoBoost is engineered to deliver consistent cooling performance under boost, towing, and heavy load conditions. Designed as a direct-fit replacement for the restrictive OEM unit, this intercooler features a high-capacity bar-and-plate core paired with TIG-welded cast aluminum end tanks for maximum thermal efficiency and durability. The PRL bar-and-plate intercooler features a robust core design engineered for consistent cooling performance under demanding conditions. Its heavy-duty construction offers improved impact resistance over the factory tube-and-fin intercooler, making it better suited for real-world driving. Each unit is finished with a durable powder coat to provide enhanced corrosion resistance, ensuring long-lasting performance and appearance.

From dyno testing to real-world towing evaluations, this intercooler has proven its ability to maintain power and keep charge air temps under control—even in the most demanding conditions. In our testing, the PRL intercooler alone produced gains of +21.33 horsepower and +34 lb-ft of torque at 6300 RPM over the stock intercooler. Heat soak testing showed that it retained significantly more power during consecutive pulls, losing 6.3 horsepower and 24.65 lb-ft less torque than OEM.

In a real-world towing test with a 5600 lb trailer, the PRL intercooler reduced charge air temps by 26.5°F at the start of a sustained hill climb and still held a 20°F advantage over stock at the end. Ambient temps under load post intercooler were reduced by 8°F, easing strain across the entire cooling system.

When paired with the PRL High Volume Intake System, the gains became even more impressive, peaking at +50 horsepower and +40 lb-ft of torque at redline.
