  1. Wonder Why Truck Prices are Up?

    Not much more than my 2023 STX SuperCab, so you got a deal as far as I’m concerned. Sticker on my STX was $50,490, with X-Plan and Recent College Grad Factory Rebate I was in about $47,000 all said and done. Options juiced mine up. Sheesh, they really get you in the door with that base price...
  2. So I drove a 2024 5.0 today..

    The PFDI system on the F-150 is huge. Ford only puts the dual fuel delivery in the 2.7 EB, 5.0 V8, and 3.5 EB engines. The rest of the lineup is DI or PI only. The 1.5L I3, 2.3 EB, 3.0 EB are all DI only and the 7.3 V8 is PI only. The PI was added to 2.7 and 3.5 for low end fuel atomization and...
  3. Are Ford Executives Dumb?

    Q: Are Ford Executives Dumb? A: Sometimes, yes
  4. Ford F-150's vs Microsoft Windows 95

    perpetual beta is right, by the time the beta testing is done it’s outdated and the next thing is in beta testing. Technology never catches up to itself.

    Nah, right around 420 crank hp on ethanol with stock file
  6. So I drove a 2024 5.0 today..

    I am sure the dealer has the 5.0 filled with cheap 87 so it’s down 20-25 HP over what is advertised on premium. These V8’s pull mad ignition timing to stop detonation on 87. I wouldn’t expect much better than 6 seconds. On 87 my scab barely breaks 6, on premium 93 it’s normally 5.5 sec. I’m...
  7. Ford recalls over 550,000 2014 model year pickup trucks because transmissions can suddenly downshift to 1st gear

    I remember my dad’s 2011 F-250 did this. It would also downshift CRAZY hard from 6-4. It would feel like it was going to blow apart. His next 2016 was butter. My 2023 reminds me of his 2011 at times. The downshift from 10-8 or 10-7 can be quite violent in my F-150, but not as violent as his...
  8. So I drove a 2024 5.0 today..

    Yup. My 5.0L has gotten 5.5 seconds reliably on 93 octane several times, I have yet to see a bone stock 2.7 even break 6 even. Then with E-85 it’s literally a 100 HP spread on stock mapping. Fords SAE certified dynoes don’t lie. Idk why people spread these falsehoods. The 2.7 is good and nothing...
  9. So I drove a 2024 5.0 today..

    Dude, that’s literally a mile above sea level. Also, last gen 5.0 made less torque and redline was 1,000 rpm lower. A 2018-2020 5.0 doesn’t stand a lick of chance against a current 5.0, 4th gen 5.0 peak torque is at a lower rpm and peak horsepower is at a higher rpm ~ meaning a much larger band...
  10. So I drove a 2024 5.0 today..

    I am so glad my 2023 came without auto start stop. It’s nice to just idle at a light with no need to hit any buttons.
  11. Ford recalls over 550,000 2014 model year pickup trucks because transmissions can suddenly downshift to 1st gear

    I liked the 12th gen’s, I’d hope they recall them when there is an issue. The day will come where mine is 10 years old…I’d hope they still recall it if an issue arises
  12. So I drove a 2024 5.0 today..

    It’s all relative, to a 5.2L Raptor R driver a PowerBoost will feel lethargic and lazy at best. To a CyberTruck driver the Raptor R will feel totally gutless….the list goes on lol. Once the Raptor E with 2000 HP comes out, the CyberTruck will feel gutless again. My 5.0 hits 0-60 in 5.2 seconds...
  13. So I drove a 2024 5.0 today..

    Has been beaten to death on here, the 5.0 and 3.5 are both faster than the 2.7. All the drag videos are from tfltruck in Colorado, so that’s meaningless as the 5.0 is 15% down on power up there. 5.0 and 3.5 both have sub 6 second 0-60 times for an XLT Screw. The 2.7 best time is 6.1 sec. The 5.0...
  14. Those of you that don't have smooth transmission shifts, please chime in!

    They got me fixed up after the last OTA update SCREWED UP my trans. We updated the software to get rid of Fords OTA and did a solenoid break in procedure and it’s been shifting adequately since. Still a hiccup here and there, but no more slams or slips. It seems the CDF drum was not my issue...
  15. Ram 1500 (DT) vs. F150 Gen 14/14.5

    100% with you, pricing is beyond crazy. The fact my STX was $51,000 sticker with manual seats is bizzare. I love the truck but critical analysis tells me even with my X-Plan I overpaid.
  16. My 3 year 5.0 MPG real world.

    I am sitting at 19.6 MPG at 24,000 miles now since new. Never reset.
  17. So I drove a 2024 5.0 today..

    The haters are loud, but I still can’t hear them over my V8 :cool:
  18. Wheel Size 22" or 20"

    22’s are worthless if you do anything truck duty. They suck towing, suck off road, suck for curbs, sucky ride. They suck at everything. I would swap my 20’s for the 18’s in a heartbeat.
