More compact, a lot remote mounted but more equipment.

I guess I partially lied... I have looked in my neighbors F150. He's is an officer for South Salt Lake. Forgot about his truck. He doesn't seem to have the equipment that UHP would have though.

The new F150 Responder is said to be the fastest pursuit unit out there now. IDK about top end as I’d think the Charger would take that. I’ve driven the Charger and it’s 😃😃😃🤣💥

He went from a Malibu to an Explorer, and now the F150.

He said the Explorer was quicker than the Malibu, and the F150 is quicker than the Explorer.

No it's this one:

I have a rebuilt starter installed from yrs back. I guess that's why mine doesn't have one.

It's just a term he uses for "work". Funny... I never thought of this until now, but I actually live fairly close to Morton Salt.

Hey, just looking at some farm equipment. Tractors in specific. Landini 4-075. It's specs indicate: 4.4 L 4 CYL - 74 HP/193 LB-FT.
How do they calculate the Torque on these machines?
For instance a 10th Gen F150 4.6L/V8 has 220 HP/290 LB PER FT of Torque. Does this mean a pickup truck has more "power" than a tractor ?
that's how the information reflects to me at least.
