Thanks to everyone who posted relevant info but it seems as though I maybe made this post asking for too much from the community. I was looking for data concerning a truck EXACTLY like mine which is in stock form. I just haven't found any video on YouTube or post anywhere online showing 0-60 times for the truck with the EXACT same specs as mine. Thanks anyways guys

how do you convert your edge? I'm running a edge cs.

It isn't a matter of being "Too much" but there are a lot of variables to these trucks. With multiple configurations, it can be hard to get an exact number that is universal for everyone. In my brief research, you're going to land somewhere from the mid 8 second to the higher 9's. It depends on a lot of variables.

Keep in mind that these are a 300HP v8 pushing close to 6,000LB with a driver in it, more if you've got load. They can get to speed and drive well but they are still running a 4-gear automatic. Coupled with weight and the stock gear ratios, they are able to move but they are a little lurch-y by newer truck standards.

I don't carry around any excess weight in it and have 20s on it with 275/45/R20 tires. I'm guess it should be faster than my sisters 08 crew cab.
It depends on drive speed limits with in the area...

My 0-60 was clocked at 9.6sec on my Edge EVO CS. Now sure how accurate it is, but it's good enough to help me win mud drags against 90% of the trucks I've raced, lol!

Why not get a timer and take it to a track that way you get both your 0-60 and 1/4 time?

what was the question ? oh yeah...how fast should my truck be ... humm

If you want 0-60 why not just try it with a stop watch it will give you a closer guess then what we can give you as it relates to your specific set up.
