the 97-2004 also weighed alot less than these trucks. an equivalent truck from those years weighs 600 lbs less than my Screw right now does. Yes, the new 5.4 has better HP and TQ #'s, but it also has more wieght to push.

Yeahhh, everyone always gets on people for spinning their tire for some reason 
The combination of the electronic throttle control (and torque managment from this) and their heavy azzes makes it hard for these things to be quick, or burn rubber off the line if you want.

lol, he said he's running eagle RS/a's which only come as wide as 275/60 for a 17" rim
I thought I measured them once and it said 15"... I measured them and I got about 11.2" from sidewall to side wall and they are the 275/60's...
I swore it was 15"... who knows what I was thinking.

With my Edge on level 3 I can squeak them... but not really light them up, unless I'm turning from a side street and flooring it... then I can smoke them pretty good.
But like previously said, why bother with a truck? I knocked my Edge back to level 2 so I can run regular.
