bye bye big yellow

well guys its time.... the truck is up for sale, i'm just bored with it and the truck just feels un exciting and boring to drive. The truck it self is fine but the power is just useless, no thrill what so ever. So my new car once i have sold it will be either a 03 cobra mustang or an 05 mustang gt, these cars are fast, nice and still made by ford. This will be my last thread and just wanted to say thanks guys for all your help u all have been great. The f150's might be down in my book but the f150 drivers aren't

Sorry to see you sell her. Nice truck. Have you considered a Roush F-150?

Hold on there...

Can I have your hood? I would swap you for mine...

(If you are entertaining that thought, then I'm NOT kidding)

Sorry to see you go! Can't go wrong with the 03 Cobra or 05 GT. Maybe you can wait for the 07 Shelby next spring? If not, I'd go with the Cobra, fast and a couple of mods will make it run the a biotch.

Hoping I never feel like that towards my truck, but good luck with your stang. I have a feeling I might feel the same way about the performance unless I supercharge it, I felt about no difference with the magnaflows, and I just received pulley's and efans, if I still don't see a significant performance increase when I install those today, I'm going to be headed down the same path.

If I were you I would invest in a bigger lift or something that will make you turn back and look at your truck everytime you step out and just say, "Damn." I look at my truck like that all the time (probably because I invision the lift already).

i guess i just never will understand why you would buy a 6000# truck and expect it to perform like a new stang or the cobra, last i thought a truck was for is to haul and tow with. i guess times have changed in the truck world...

Maybe you can carry it back to the Ford place and they will give you your money back like that stereo shop did with your...what was it....$12,000 or so system you talked about.

These trucks rock ! I still love starting mine up and taking off down the road.
I've had it for 18 months now and the thought of being bored with it or it underperforming is the farthest thing from my mind... vroom vroom ...
Theses trucks rock ! ...................
