Dude, at first I though you were talking about round bales (thats what Im used too). Now our round bales weigh around 1800lbs a piece. 8 of them would be 14,400lbs. Haha I was like "DUDE, IF YOU THINK THATS A JOKE..!!!"
Haha, then it donned on me, 8 round bales wouldnt fit in the bed of a truck...that would easily crush the bed sides too...lol.
Ahhhh, Im dumb.

LOL , Nah , I was referring to the smaller bales yuh stack a wagon with or stock in the loft..

Wonder if anyones ever been ran over by one of those big round ones tho. Shoot !!, one of those would prolly take out a house once it got some momentum behind her lol..

Lol.
Actually, when I think about it, I DONT see that many 4.6 Lariats...Never really noticed that till now...

97-98 dont even exist in my mind
99 is probably the best, since thats what year mine is Lol

Hopefully trading it off on an 03 sometime soon...Have to do some dealin'

Haha, well, if you see one coming at you all you have to do is take a step or two to the side...

If you dump one from a baler on a hill w/o thinking (I get sidetracked sometimes ) them babies will roll forever...and take out fences, small trees, F250s... Haha, yeah.

(the F250 wasnt me, that was a guy that lives close to me lol)


Oh yah, Patman, just for arguments sake-

The eighth digit in the VIN, a W, indicates a 4six.

Haha, sorry, had too lol

HI!... I'd luv to see you just mash the gas pedal in my truck with normal street tires on it. You'd be chitting your pants before you hit the ditch.........

Just FYI they dont make a 4.6 Lariat
HI!... Thats because the 4.6 is not good enough for the LARIAT. Only the best gets put in the LARIAT. Thats why it came standard with the 5.4.


POWNED!

made in Kansas City (Claycomo, Missouri)
6,001-7,000 pounds GVWR with driver and front passenger air bags

but anyways its pretty rare to see a 2wd lariat too... But not only does the W indicate that its 4.6 but i also believe that means its a windsor motor.

Find me a 01-03 Screw 4.6 Lariat and i will call you King either 4x4 or 2wd

5.4 is faster, no ifs, ands, or buts about it.
If the 4.6 had more *****, they wouldnt make the 5.4.
Figure out the power to wieght ratio...
im sorry for your 4.6 because mine will spin the hell out of the tires, and has even been known to chirp second gear from time to time, ive also raced my parents 5.4 and there was no match up 4.6 ftw of course im also a single cab 2wd

HI!... Well it feels that way when I go from my truck to one with a 4.6.

I bet even my little v-6 RANGER runs a faster 1/4 mile time than your 4.6.
