for whatever it's worth looks like JGR and Toyota are extending their contracts on the car side, which seems to be main sponsor of their moto team as well.............so money is there, which based on some other teams problems is a BIG plus......

that's cool and everything, but how do you guys feel about the new F-150 ecoboost?

thinking about taking my jacked and murdered '06 BRO-50 and trading her in on the new model.

I have the eco boost in a 2011 F 150 4x4. Don't believe the gas mileage claim. I get about 17.5 mpg on the hwy doing 75 and about 14.5 in the city. It does like to get up and go thanks to the twin turbos. I only pulled a small boat to Savannah last year and got around 10 mpg.

my current truck only get's 12 on the highway if i'm lucky, 10 towing my 24' boat up mountains and shit.

the ford dealer here is offering me 17 on trade in, which is a great investment as i bought it 3 years ago for 18.

madeiux, i didn't like the tundras when i was buying last time so that option is out

I was just sayin as they're so involved in our sport.........

I drove em all when I bought my last truck in 07 and I liked it the Titan best.........new Fords are nice and with that kind of a "deal" would be hard to pass up.............

I drove a Raptor last year when I was in CA and it rocked and I'm sure new ones are better.........

Don't take a Raptor off-road... they have a weak point in the rear frame above the axle that causes the frame to bend if you hit bumps too hard lol

When they do fuel economy on the advertisements they are basing that off of a 55 MPH standard and a company like Ford has to much to use by false advertising.

Here is something from the EPA website.

While each vehicle reaches its optimal fuel economy at a different speed (or range of speeds), gas mileage usually decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mph. You can assume that each 5 mph you drive over 60 mph is like paying an additional $0.31 per gallon for gas. Observing the speed limit is also safer.
