Now I normally don't do this sort of thing, but I got into a little streetlight battle with one of these on a wide, 6 lane 45 mph road in Fort Lauderdale. I was in my old '85 Porsche 928S2 5 speed and it was a good race [we only took it to about 60 mph]. That 928 would run high 13 second quarters @ 105, so these trucks are quick.

My grandfather had one of these when I was 19 in 2003. Man it was so bad ass! He ended up selling it around 2010 or so with 30k miles for about $20k. I seriously wish they had kept it in the family. I got to take it around the block only when I installed a K&N air filter for them good for about 15HP increase over the stock 360HP. I got to ride in it with him back in the day on the highway and he opened it up! Man when that supercharger kicks in it really throws you back in your seat! The sound it made was amazing when it was spinning up.

I absolutely LOVE the Ford 4.6/5.4 modular V8s that are the 2-valve version. They are some of the most durable and reliable motors out there. Police cars, taxi cabs, and limousines have often gone half a million miles on these engines.

@forresttaylor2757 2 жыл бұрын

Agreed. They did the 5.4 dirty by putting that three valve garbage on it.

@LA_Commander 2 жыл бұрын

@@forresttaylor2757 well Ford was being forced to compete with Dodge and Chevy which were putting out higher horsepower engines (like Hemi). Many buyers just look at the raw horsepower numbers without any thought to where that power is on the PowerBar, how much actual usable torque is down at 2,000 RPM, or how durable an engine is. This is why Dodge sold so many Hemis even though we all now know they just don't last. So Ford had to up their game and they already had the 4 valve 4.6 for the Cobra with well over 300 horsepower so by having the base engine upgraded from 2 valves to 3, that really increased airflow and bumped up the HP numbers for both engines. Interestingly, I haven't heard of any major issues with the 3 valve 4.6 motor used on the Mustang or Explorer compared to the numerous issues with the 3 valve 5.4 motors used on the trucks.

Pickups is one of those American things the rest of us can't get our heads around, has less cargo volume than a van and your cargo is a lot less secure, and buying a pickup to occasionally haul stuff is a lot less convenient than having a towing hitch on a car and a trailer you can opt to use or not, or rent a trailer if you don't need often.

@standhd 2 жыл бұрын

CHOICE. Pickups sit up higher, and yea I know SUV’s do too, but a pickup truck is something I always wanted and now have for over 20 years. I have moved quite a few people with my trucks; pack their stuff nice and neatly, secured with straps or bungee cords. Getting big items from a big box store is a BREEZE; like a very large TV. I used to get wood from a friend’s brother’s property he was clearing out. I gotta move coming up this weekend as a matter of fact. No, pickup trucks aren’t for everyone, but for my needs, it suits me well.
