How much will the rcsb and supercab weight? I'm ready for a new project! Imagine my truck tat does an 11.86 weighing 735lbs less, that would be able an 11.1 all things equal. Now a rcsb 4wd would do 10s!

Very deceptive and should be on a apples to apples basis...

430 lbs is still a huge weight savings

But, the 430# weight savings is moot since it was derived from an erroneous assumption that the 5.0 is 300# heavier than the 2.7. Ford said the 5.0 is only about 25# heavier, so we're back to the 700+ pounds weight savings, at least when comparing 2014-2015 Lariats.
