But that stupid engine that fools CAFE but sucks in the real world. What an overly complicated pile of crap.
At least Ford finally got their weight down to about where the GM half tons have been for years.

DeCal Works Huge Plastic Inventory of UFO and Polisport kits.
They are geared far too tall (you need like a 4.10 ratio )and in Low 1 WFO a 5.4 Triton is topped out a 15 MPH at the point the Auto trans almost starts slipping. Any steeper and you'd have to go to low 4. And that sucks on dry pavement and twisty roads.
Ive seen lots with the old 4.6 triton or whatever is was.......low 4 for sure.
A turbo would help but the current eco boost is just a band aid for torque in the mountains. You need displacement too. Hence why I said a 5.4 or 6.2 Eco Boost would be the shizzle.
Any vehicle will have major rust related issues in a salty environment. My 02 is just now starting to rust on the rear fenders. And that's only because I don't have access to a garage every day. The first 8 years of it's life it was washed the same day it saw salt. Just like anything else, take care of your truck, it will take care of you. Don't complain when you start having issues due to neglect. Tron can you tell me how to maintain your differential plate? or how bout those engine manifold bolts and gee for $30k you think stainless brake lines would be a deal killer. not neglect, poor materials. my Ranger went through the same seasons and never had caliper pins sieze or brake lines rot. Since when does a dip stick tube rust ???? guess you wax yours?
Fox should shoot themselves with these shocks they put on the truck.
Makes a factory appearing repair where accessible. Ford supplies some huge and unsightly hemlock rivets for areas not accessible. Rivet head for the self piercing rivet presses in flush and dimples the backside. No through penetration of the coated steel rivet. No drilling of holes either.
My neighbor has 96k miles on his. The timing chain stretched, jumped off the sprocket and destroyed his motor. From what I'm reading, this seems to be an ongoing problem with some of the ecoboost engines.
It seen almost 10,000 RPMS when they downloaded the data from it. Warranty denied.
Do people really think these street vehicles are made to do shit like that?
Watching Raptors get jumped and they fold up like a suitcase. Hilarious.
That said, I know a guy with 220K on a 3.5 Ecoboost. I doubt its seen anything close to the redline. He knows shit isn't built for that.
Have had the shocks rebuilt 5 times. They leak, they leak, they leak... AND the valving sucks, it's been a pain in the ass.
FOX sent me new seal heads and everything.
The stability system in this truck is the biggest joke I've ever seen, ALMOST as bad as the drive By wire throttle that had a mind of its own. Ball joints out of the truck in 30,000 miles, tranny at 40,000. The list goes on and on.
Pit Row
You guys have any opinions on those?
I deleted the dpf and blocked the egr at 40k miles because I love the truck and I want it to last, lol! New aftermarket downpipe while I was in there. Nice Mild tune, nothing crazy, should be around 500hp at the crank. 18mpg to and from work (half city, half highway) on 295/70r17 cooper st maxx a/t's (heavy 33x11.5). 21.5mpg on a road trip. And those figures are by hand not on the DIC. I can get 2mpg better with the stock wheels and tires . . . but im too vain, lol
anyway that's my .02
The wife has the 3.5L Ecoboost in her Edge Sport. Thing gets like 16-18 mpg around town, not happy with that! I really didn't want the ecoboost for her, really unnecessary for a around town grocery getter. That mpg is close to what I get in my 5.7L v8 Tundra is
not to mention some "adaptive steering failure" light just came on, her car only has 6k miles on it
2015 King Ranch with 31,000 miles. Far superior to any truck I have ever owned (seven), and my first Ford. It is 4x4 but rides smoother than the Mercedes C300 I owned prior to the truck.
...how does GM reconcile those ads with their own aluminum truck. Steel bed floor maybe?
