Default 2018 fx4 5.0 10 speed 3.73s

Has anybody drove or own a 2018 f150 crew cab 10 speed 4wd with 3.73 gears? If so I would like to hear your thoughts on it?

Don't even have a 5.0, but I know the 5.0 with a 6 speed and 3.31s is fast. So all I can say a 5.0 with the new 10 speed and 3.73s is going to have some serious *****. I can only assume you're going to be very happy with it.

The new 5.0 is perfectly suited to 3.73's with the 10 speed thanks to all dem revs.

I wouldn't get over 3.55's with the ecoboost unless you just need it for towing, as stock it shifts out around 52-5500 depending on gear.

this is what I'm hoping and exactly why i ordered my 18 lariat. My 09 with 5.4 was not to fast. Next truck I want to burn some tires.

I'm just hoping the 3.73 gears with the 10 speed isn't to low of a gear

One quote I read on here that sticks with me is: "This ain't your daddy's pickup." Really speaks for the power on these trucks.

I'm all about power that's why I waited to get the 18 model with 10 HP more and 15 more torque. Also why I went with 3.73 gears. As Tim Allen said..."more power"

Yeah my 6-speed 5.0 w/3.31s burns rubber in 1st and chirps the tires in 2nd. Can only imagine what the 10-speed will be like
