I see we cleared that up. Talk about diversity....

I agree with you. It's a package....not a designation of 4x4. The 4x4 is a given. It's the Ef Ex Four package of the 4x4.

Plus read how Ford marketed it on the side of the truck. The letters F and X are in one color and 4 is in another color. Thefore FX are to be read as letters of the alphabet, and the number 4 is to be stated as such. If it was "F by 4" then I'd expect three different colors with the 'x' as a lowercase. Bottom line is that the FX4 is the answer to Z71. And when you hear Z71, it's a given that it's a 4x4. IMHO.

Although "Ford by Four" definately sounds cool.

 

I call it "Ford by four" All those chevy and dodge geeks can have "four" power, I like "Ford" power!

 

its not a measuement like 4x4 or 4x2. you have to say 'F' 'X' '4'. Ford Motor Company pronounces it 'F' 'X' '4'.

 

Eff x four. If you have an FX2, would you call it eff by two, or four by two? It's eff x 2. Was the RX7 the R by 7? How about the 280ZX, 280 Z by? 4X4 denotes a drivetrain option, typically not a package or trim level.

 

Yeah, The fx4 is a trim package of the 4x4. I had this explained to me by the dealership when I was buying my truck. And yes they pronounce it at the dealership ad by the ford company Eff ex four.

 

I think its.... F times 4

 

Actually youre not correct. 3 wheels drive the truck. The front left tire is not part of the powertrain...

AND ITS F X 4. People around here read well....

 

I just say it, I don't remember how I say it after I have said it.

 

"eff-ecks-four" is what i say.

 

eff-by-four

If it was 4x4 would you say four-ex-four????
