All Hat No Cattle

One more vote to kill the engine noise from an adult that could not care less what the engine sounds like, as long as it is quiet and reliable.

Ford puts in sound absorbing windshields, a sound deadening firewall, and sound absorbing materials throughout the truck.

Then they pipe in engine sounds through the radio system?

What rocket scientist engineer thought that up?

Quieter is better.

Dear Ford,

Please offer me a v8 option for the 2015+ F150 so I don't have to hear your blasphemy that is synthesized v8 rubble through the stereo. I love my 2012 F150 5.0 v8, I want one just like it but maybe with more power and torque.

Thank you,

P.S. For every v6 you sell, a child in Africa starves to death.

I don't mind the fake sound but when it interferes with my adding a new sound system that isn't cool. Hopefully those JBL OEM coming out sound and work correctly on 3.5's

You do realize they did that right? A 5.0L V8 with more HP/TQ than your 2012? Or is this sarcasm?

I sent a letter saying how I much I love the sound and they need to patch it to both driver and passenger side to get the true dual exhaust sound.

mhm, yeah... I dont know the guy, but reading this and his next post, I'm 99.9% sure it was sarcasm...

Soap

Yea, I thought so but seeing as he had to post again right after that you can see the confusion...

back on point, I do agree it would be nice to have the sound configurable for those that don't care for it, or want to rip out and replace the audio but at the same time this feature was talked about at nauseum so to purchase the vehicle anyway only to complain about the feature seems odd. Just my opinion of course...

It's not really complaining for me. It's trying to get ford to make a change (that can easily be done by the software folks who design the system in a matter of 3 hours) so the purchase is perfect. The more people who reach out to them asking for this to be an option the higher the likelihood ford makes the change.

I have the Dukes of hazards horn in my '08 F150, debating if im gonna take it out and put it on the '15
