You obviously don't tow either. I do, alot in the summer. Merging and passing is a scary deal with my 5.4 when I have my 6K lb camper on the hitch. The 5.4 gets it moving with no problem but it has nothing left once your rolling. Having even 50 more HP would make a huge difference.

 

Three Words, Troyer Stage Two

 

That doesn't solve the issue of Ford not putting enough HP in a STOCK engine to allow it to have adequate performance on the highway for merging and passing with a load.

 

Or without.

 

Never siad it was stock.....

 

Thats what people dont understand....Tq gets it moving but HP keeps it moving. You can have all the tq in the world if your only going to drive slow

 

Very true, it's good to see Ford addressed that issue on the mighty '09's.

 

Go test drive a Ecoboost befor makin' a move!
