You've said that before, but no. A 2V 4.6 - yes, they're close. A 3V - no. And all 4.6 Mustangs were GTs lol

Well the V8 still sounds better dammit 
But the 3V still has it edged, ever so slightly. I thought the 3V's 0-60 was 5.2 though. Either way, I'm extremely surprised the 3.7 is that fast, especially considering the power gap between it and a 3V. I've seen my friend's fully bolted 05 GT beat a cam'd and bolted 3.7 in the 1/8 mile considerably. Guess it was down to the drivers more than I thought.

I just KNEW you were going to say that.
Now, what are you going to say about the 2015, which will have a 2.3 liter 4 banger EB available?

Eh, it's change I have to get used to. I rip on the non-V8s, but I've got enough between my ears to understand that change is coming. The originals had V6's available and this isn't the first time for a 4banger either, if I'm not mistaken. I honestly won't mind at all about other options as long as a V8 is still available. And if a little 4 pot and Vsux are needed to keep em around longer, I'm all for it. The 3.7 is plucky though. And at the end of the day, HP is really all that matters until an exhaust goes on, and most folks don't do that.

And there was a turbo 4 in the Fox bodies, as well.

Dad had a 86 Mustang for YEARs and it was a 2.3 liter 4 banger. That was one tuff engine/car. Got rid of it in 95 with over 200k miles for a 94 ranger with the 2.3 in it, once again a great little engine.
id like to drive the 15 mustang with the 2.3 ecoboost. It would be interesting to say the least.

I'm not sure who has looked at these, but I did a nationwide search and they are all around the country. I will be looking for a daily driver in 2014 and I had a few things in mind but something caught me eye. If you look on a site like cars.com, you will see a good deal of white 2011-2013 F-150 reg cab long bed XL's ALL with the 5.0 and rwd. They always have 20k or less on them and look to be in nice shape. The carfax shows a rental company out of Phoenix, Az and many are $15-17k. I may ****** one next summer if I have the funds saved by that point for a nice down payment. I think it'd make a perfect dd as I don't want synch or anything like that and still get respectable mpg. With some Harley heads and tails, PTM Chrome package grille, PTM handles/mirror caps and Fx4 20s, I think it'd make a sharp truck. The 8' bed is a bit quirky, but it is very functional and that's what I'd want in a truck like that.
Anyone know how these trucks are and what the deal is? Enterprise or something?

If you are looking for a good dd, this might work. It seems like a lot of money to me for a used truck. I got the xl with power pkg, 8'box (not very popular) and reg cab. I went 5.0 and limited slip. New it was under 21k. Costco has very competitive pricing at $1200 below invoice. Ford financing was 5.9--not sure what you can get on a used truck, but it is often higher. Good luck.

Oh. I went through the thread. I thought it was about dogs, mustangs and engine debates. When I went back to the original post it sounded like the poster was interested if this was a good deal on an f150 with 5.0 and rear wheel drive. Please help me with what I am missing here because I thought u-haul was selling F150's--not u-haul trucks. I was suggesting those trucks are almost new prices and are typically stripped down. If the OP orders exactly what he wants through Ford, especially now, he can get a new truck for maybe a little more, but make up on the price difference with lower costs on financing.

, except for the Cobra. But he made it sound like the GT was the "higher/est" trim with a 4.6 because of the "even a GT" part.
