I think the problem with the Tremor was that it cost more than a fully loaded SuperCrew!

The only thing that separates my truck from the Tremor .....
Is I have the SuperCrew version with 4WD......and I paid $39K new.

Something I always thought Ford lacked with the Lightnings personally.
Never liked RCSB trucks.

A tune can put 500hp and a buttload more torque out of the Ecoboost then that 5.2L can.

good point. but then, a loaded up Mustang GT also costs over 40 grand. I'd never pay that for a novelty, but I know people that would in a heartbeat.

What MSRP is (wishful thinking) and what people buy them for are very different numbers.

Tremors are mid 30s new.

Very very doubtful. It's built to go in the Mustang, not a heavy truck.

So is the 5.0 but they got it to work well in the F150.

I guess I should say that the 5.2 was specifically built for the GT350. Just like the 5.8 was specifically built for the GT500. F series are headed more in the boosted V6, not for any other V8 besides the current 5.0.

Everyone on here would have you believe that is what the 3.5EB is for, so give me the 5.0 at 425hp, lol
