Never really researched it. Probably easy if I did.

Man you can run 17x9 at 0mm offset with no trimming at all.

I might agree, if that 5four was running like a terd. Experience a good running engine, - 265's are cake, even towing heavy.

It's still runs good but go drive a truck with 265s and 3.73s and then go back to your 3.55s and it sucks. 3.73s should have been standard

Oh I agree w/ 3.73's being standard in more models than they were. But 3.55's don't suck. It'll pull some weight and cruise alright. When you get into the mountains, that's a totally different story.

Ford should of made at least one model 4x4 with a blown 5four. I think they would have sold out for sure, and been a collectors truck by now. During the gen 10 era anyway. It would have paved the way with something different from all manufacturers. It's a shoulda woulda coulda now lol.
