How prepared?


Are you even 4x4?

Might want to consider a 5.4L otherwise your v6 will struggle to get down the road with some larger tires and lift (aero).... without costing a ton in MPG...

Get a 4x4 screw 5.4L

I only ask that because you say you want the biggest and baddest truck around

Biggest baddest = 5-10,000 bucks......

Be prepared.... it comes with consequence$.....



I'm sure some people will say different but the little 08 v6 will struggle to pull a fully modded and lifted out truck down the road.... (along with i doubt they make a programmer and dual exhaust sounds 'entertaining' with a 6 banger at best.....


Hopefully the honesty hasn't hurt...

Well it's gonna cost money because the biggest and baddest can't be powered by a v-6. .... Unless its an ecoboost! And swapping in a v8 or an eb is gonna be pricey. Then lift tires rims ect if money's no object give er but if it is just start small

It would be cheaper to buy an ecoboosted truck then it would be to swap an EB in an 08..

controls, transmission, intercooling.. blah no thank$ for my wallet on an engine swap....

Its not about the work, its about the money. You won't be the biggest and baddest unless you can make your own lift. lol But if your tryna buy a lift kit and tires will make your truck badass. I'd go 8" Lift if your tryna be that bad. with 37s.

A v6 won't push that package down the road with the loss in aero and the size in tires.....

I'd sell it and start with something that has the meat and potatoes already there....
