I'll probably get a F150 Supercrew in 2008...probably won't get rid of my 98 though...

 

Probably an 08 or 09 F150 if the 6.2 liter Hurricane engine (aka Hemi Killa) is available by then.

 

I'm selling on ebay right now and if it sells I will be building an older truck up sitting on rocks, 49"+ rubber, big block, etc. It's going to be built for the mud, if I can afford it a newer diesel Superduty will be dragging it's **** around.

 

A new Dodge.

 

mustang gt convertible or a F250

 

I think I'm going with the Volvo S60.


And with the new inline 6 they have coming, it will be a smoker.

 

Anything but another Ford. This thing is the biggest piece of junk I've ever owned. Underpowered and built with all the quality of a pinto.

Honda, Nissan, Toyota. ANYTHING but another Ford.

 

I am usually pretty passive but when you make absurd claims about a huge purchase I've made that are both unfounded and untrue...you can bet I'll have something to say.

If you're even considering a Honda or Toyota truck to better suit your needs...you never needed a truck in the first place. Lets hear your gripes about the so-called poor "quality"...enlighten me. If you're sitting in an XL I am going to come through the computer screen. I have torn down nearly every essential piece on this truck whether it was the drivetrain, modding my engine or suspension/lift and I'd call it anything but cheap. In fact I just had a guy who has to sit in a new Toyota Tacoma everyday and was amazed at the poor "quality" of both my interior and exterior, once we were driving he had something nice to say about the power as well (something to the effect of, I still couldn't touch this thing in my Yota).

I'm dying to hear a "I know what I'm talking about." Hate Ford, go ahead. But don't say it's junk, people around here call this truck the pickup with a lexus interior (which when clean looks brand new).

 

My main problem with my 5.4L and all behind and under it is that is underpowered, badly.

 

BTW, Honda, Toyota, and Nissan build vehicles in the US also. Even though some of them may be able to beat out the big 3 in "quality" ratings, but these ratings don't always take into account the type of users and the usage of the vehicles. Of course a Prius should be more reliable than an F-150--the Prius will have fewer parts, has less mass to move, and isn't likely to move large objects.

I still prefer the big 3 when it comes to trucks for heavy duty work for extended number of years. Until we make some of the changes to the Titan that I'm wanting, if I have a Titan, it will only be through a corporate (NNA) lease. So, I guess that my F-150 will be safe for now unless my bosses make me get a Nissan. Personally, I'd rather keep the F-150 and get the body-style ('07+) Altima to drive around since I can't afford the new body-style (07+) G35, even with employee prices.

 

Hmmm, I must have a rare gem then...

What are you comparing it to?

Does power mean speed or towing?

What is your final gear ratio?

 

Throw a tuner on your 5.4L and power is no longer a desire. Simple as that. It's unfortunate Ford reserved these new 3v's but a tuner is the cure.

 

A hand tuner? That is the biggest waste of time and money on a stock GAS engine in the entire history of man.

 

Are you serious? Tuning is where the 3v's are bottlenecked.

 

You're crazy Have you tried one on YOUR motor? And which tuner was it?
