Just came across this video on the youtubes, guy claiming 0-60 in 5.6 seconds with a CC / 3.73 gears, at first I figured it was fake somehow, and I clock it at more about 5.8 seconds, but still!

That's damn fast, I'm glad I got a supercab ecoboost FX4 with 3.73, can't wait to see how it runs.

 

Thats pretty crazy fast for a pick up truck!...lol

 

...and then when he was finished with the run, he turned the truck around and went back up the hill.

 

lol

:d

 

That is nice. Still trying to justify a trade from a 2009 5.4L to an Ecoboost. Not sure if the cost difference will every justify it, although I'd love to get my hands on a truck with more torque and acceleration, since that's my cup of tea.

 

Now it all makes sense!

 

I wish my 5.0L would do that. It always seems to brake the tires loose when I stand on the gas pedal. It must be the drive-by-wire delay in the EB.

 

He has another vid with the hill descent screen up and both are at 0 degrees, I guess i'm amazed again lol

 

I can vouch that the video is accurate; I did this sort of thing while I was breaking mine in (watching the video brought back the same memories). Didn't time it, and my rear is a 3.15, but yes, it's damn cool to get this kind of kickass out of a pickup truck. And, one that gets 24.8 mpg over a 3-hour drive with an hour each at 65, 70, and 75 mph.

I can't say enough about how much I love this powertrain.

 

When you put it in Tow/Haul mode, it completely changes the transmission shift points and how it holds gears. Sometimes when I play I'll put it in T/H for fun Not sure if that's too wise though.
