Should've bought an 18 if you are looking for power. Let it break in a bit. The 5.0's are very tight new. It will get quicker though 10K miles.

I agree. They weren't dealing on the 18s

I really was hoping it was though, because I got a great deal. I ordered a pedal commander to see if that will make a difference. I'm still happy with the truck, just don't understand why I buy a new truck with 60 more hp and it's not as quick. Frustrating
They have said the 18's were faster, not the 17's. Besides, you keep saying you bought the 17 with a 5.0 for just use this truck for hauling the trailer for our lawn business, surf fishing and hunting., but go on to say its not fast or quick. So what is the real reason you bought it? To go fast while towing lawn mowers?

I don't use lawnmowers . I haul a powerseeder and aerator. I bought it because i wanted another 4×4. And this particular truck was the best deal I could get.

There's also a difference between "theirs" and "there's".

Don't lie. There are too many witnesses. You filled pages bad-mouthing anything proven to be faster than your 2.7. We saw it.

I thought about you the other day when I ran across ANOTHER 13 second stock 5.0 f-150. Member "Spooled" ran 13.9 at 98, almost identical to what my stock 08 tundra ran. I'm not sure I would call 13.9 fast, but it certainly isn't "slowww" (especially if you think 14.0 is "fast").

I don't know why you feel the need to incessantly bash the 5.0's power and speed. It seems like you'd get bored with it after a while.

Like i have saying all along, the 5.0 bottom end torque is boatloads more then a baby engine with turbos. No rpm, no boost and no power. And the 2.7 completely falls on its face by 4500 rpm too. The little turbos are done pumping air by then and the 5.0 just keeps making power

I appreciate the English lesson professor. Nooooooo I absolutely did NOT bash the 5.0! No, you guys constantly bash the 2.7.... look just in this thread alone, baby motor, baby food, ecobust, egoboost. .. the only ego, is your guys who is to big to admit a tiny 2.7 engine is in fact quicker than your 5.0. I never said the 2.7 was a better engine. I honestly think the 5.0 is a better engine. So dont call me a liar.. The truth is the 2.7 moves the f150 through the quarter mile faster then the 5.0. I've personally tested it over and over. I own both engines. Both have their pros and cons.

Your very first post in this thread describes the 5.0 as "disappointing" and "slowww"! You've been busted in more lies than I can count.

That has been disproven time and time again, both in magazine tests (the fair ones, at least) and at the track. Your street racing "kills" hold no water.

It’s not worth it, Mike. Just let him post whatever he wants and move on. He’s been banned twice in 2 weeks. Chances are he’ll hang himself here for good soon enough. I’d hate to see good members with something to contribute such as yourself get caught up in and banned too.
