Well a 455 will dwarf damn near ANY modern engine!

Puny size in comparison? Yes. Puny on the graph? Hell no!

And I'm out, hopefully this doesn't spark a war...



Now on the original topic:
I had a look at one of the tremors on the lot. Cool looking truck. Salesman says they can't move them though.... Something to do with the CRAZY HIGH PRICE!!!

I think the Tremor is a cool little truck. If I was 40 or so years younger, I would snag one and try to hold on to it. I think it could have some decent resale value 10 or 15 years down the road. Oh yeah, it is a little motor.

Never said that the EB was puny on the graph....as a matter of fact the EB shines there compared to only the 435 HP 455HO in the GTO.....

They need to drop the price $6-7k off MSRP and have a few rebates. But honestly don't think Ford will do it.

As someone posted in another thread its a parts bin truck trying to clear out inventory for the 2015 model. If they were serious about the Tremor they'd put some effort in the suspension too.

Local dealer had one on display right outside the showroom on the ramp when they first got it in. Sat there for a bit and now is at the far end of the lot backed in and hasn't moved in a few weeks.

I don't understand
It's not some gawdy lookin lowrider with giant rims or something silly.
It's a regular cab, short bed ecoboost.. take the stickers off and no one would know it's any different than any other f150.
Then again, some guys have those same stickers on extended cabs - does your 'reasoning' apply to them as well? As the stickers are the only thing that really differentiates it in the first place.
You make no sense.

Any of the body decals are Busch league. You certainly don't see any in an office building parking lot, or even down to a lowly construction site.

I gaurantee that 85% of the guys running decals have spiked up hair and a tribal tattoo (or barbed wire).
