I came out of a Ram 2500 Laramie with the 6.4 and was shocked that the F150 3.5 has so much more power than the 6.4 did and fuel mileage……that’s worlds apart. It really is a dog , especially with bigger tires.
I mean your comparing a 2500 HD truck to a half ton ? And also a de tuned 6.4 made for hard truck life at the same time. And don't get me wrong i agree with you 100% the 6.4 is not a race truck by any means like the PB and ECO I had prior. not to mention there is about a 1500+ LB difference pending on F150 trim. If were taking about power and gas milage maybe a Ram 1500 with one of the 3.0 motors is a little more fair comparison.

Im not even talking about which one is faster in a race, im talking about hooking up to the same 7,000 lb trailer and pulling the mountains here in Colorado, my F150 didn’t even break a sweat pulling a 7% grade to 11,000 ft and the 6.4 would be screaming and struggled to maintain speed on the same grade.

After having to replace a dead starter battery for the fourth time on my 2022 F-150 I traded it in on a Chevy Z71 Silverado 1500. So nice to have the truck start in the morning and I put the battery charger back into storage. Love the Eaton E80 auto rear locker that has been standard since 2015 on Z71 Chevy trucks. I also like the cedar green color after having had the battleship gray F-150.

Ford F-150 I went to the dark side , no more Ford Silverado Z71 2025
Ford F-150 I went to the dark side , no more Ford Chevy Olique Front

You may not miss your truck, but you'll miss us knuckleheads. :)
I been on so many car and truck forums and can honestly say this crew has been the most helpful amazing set of folks. I plan on sticking on around. My dad has a farm and we buy nothing but F150's every 2-3 years,
