That's because the 4six is a car motor - Mustang motor.. - A Mustang is just a go-cart with a motor lol - NO weight to handle.

HI!... Uh no.... MUSTANG GT = 3650LBS. "99" REG-CAB, SHORT BOX F-150 = 4550LBS. That's a 900LB difference or 9 tenths in the 1/4 mile.

Nope , No one wants them or has them that I know of, up north here. We need more than just good looks in a truck , we need a performer .. Everyone I know has 5.4 liters. The thought behind it is , why would you buy a truck without the power you need in a truck ? You just don't...
