2011 5.0 f-150

First one came in today...silver FX4 supercab....gotta say I really dig it. Raptor heads and tails, FX2 style grille and different wheels. And not to mention the new 5.0!

I was questioning its power when I heard they were going to the 5.0, but I gotta say this thing has some ***** to it! No more pedal lag or whatever you want to call it...instant power and lots of it. Not to mention it sounds mean stock.

I hard to take it for a test drive and compare it to the 2010 v8....and of course that did not disappoint. Pulls hard, shifts fast and very smooth. The power is all over on this thing. I really am wanting one now...might do something when they get good rebates this summer!

and the pics






This thing looks tiny!!

Like the wheels; nice gun-metal look. Appears that the mirrors are different as well from the 2010 FX4s

I was just going to say the wheels are horrible. But I do like the color/finish of them. It looks like something is missing off the top of the motor, LOL. If you're ranting and raving about the 5.0 like that, you probably shouldn't drive a 6.2.

Very nice! I'm digging it too! I'll most likely be making the move to a 2011 FX4 5.0 next winter after graduation.

Hopefully the big red turd can get me there without pulling me into debt with repairs

Yeah, its missing the 5.0 engine cover that is on the Mustang! .....For the kind of $$$ you spend on these things you think that they could have included that!......

Awesome. I was wondering if that lag would go away with the new engines. I ordered my 2011 Platinum with the 6.2 liter, can't wait till it gets here. My fingers are crossed for a sweet Xmas gift.
