A few discouraging v6f150.com facts:
1. Out of those 3600 members, there are 10 active members.
2. Those 10 active members are moderators.
3. Those members control what they want others to post.
4. It's questionable that it was sold to a new owner... the original owner that owned a Turbocharged V6 F150 dumped it off to the new owner.
5. They talk about HHO, and how 8 of the 10 members say they get 50 mpg.
6. If you ask a legitmate question on the site, it either gets ignored, or else fun is poked at it, and the question never gets answered. Or else it gets deleted mysteriously.
7. The owner of the site bans users not because they cause trouble, but merely so they can re-register and bring up the member count.
8. Out of the 10 of the active members, there is probably 300 accounts for each active member. The owner problem gave them money to sit back, and create fake users all day and to post questions that were posted on other sites.
9. If you are not from Texas, they will ban you.
10. They have a private section that you can pay for. Yet, from dealings with them, and a few other people, the owner rips money off people and Paypal won't do a darn thing about it too.

Right on www.v6f150.com...
Just spend a week on there... and see how far you get. It's worse than FTW... or possibly equal.
Besides... it's a stupid v6 F150... and to have a whole site dedicated to it, is just as stupid as me saying that everyone should drive manual F150s...

Me being one of them, but I'm no mod.
Since when. We have a BS thread that has 1000+ post
Again, not banned and I'm from the St. Louis area.

All I can saw is wow... someone's a diehard v6f150.com fan... keep it on man... 
How am I banned? I'm on good terms with the owner.
I dunno why he keeps that site running... it's such a waste of time and money... and he knows it.

You know this site wasn't so V6 friendly when I joined. Every answer from others was get a V8 or why a V6? Hell, every site other than V6f150 has looked down on me owning a V6 F150. So V6F150 is going to get my defense.

The Raptor Treatment, worse than captial punishment!
that site i rarely visit because no one goes on there. I think more V6 F-150 owners come on here.
but I have noticed a lot of 97-03 V6s and a lot of 04+ V8, but mostly V6's and not counting company trucks. 90% of the V6s are all in crappy condition 99's (obviously the hydrolocked issue killed all the 98's) XL single cab with dents all over. i've actually become good friends with one guy who frequents the drive-thru at my local Wendy's every day. He's told me that his truck has never been washed since the day he got it. poor thing

But the v6 F150 is funny... and around here, at least Barrett, and Hanson paving companies are using v6 F150s... 50/50 auto/stick... along with me.

Good for you, but there are also people that love their V6. Mine does everything I ask it to, and that was to haul my 400ex. I didn't need anything more and the 21 Hmpg was a plus for a truck. The only thing I regret was getting the XL and not the XLT.
