Too Toyota Tacomaish...but then again, that's my complaint of the 2015 F150 in general. It borrows heavily from Toyota.

Now it's out let the v8 but hurt flow. For what it's worth I have been testing the turbos for a while now and my truck walked away from my wife's 2014 jeep srt. the same turbos will be available soon for the masses

I was eh about it first, wasn't a big fan of the tailgate or grill. Those will grow on me. Not sure how I feel about dual exit exhausts, I like the semi dovetail they have. Really love the interior, the seats are sick and the 6 overhead aux switches is great. I'd have to get used to the 3.5, though I'm sure it's a monster. Not a home run for me, but certainly not a bomb either, I think they did a nice job with it. Would I get it? Possibly, but it wouldn't be a no brainer like the current gen.

Lol geno, you were spot on brother about Eco 6, I'm sure it'll have great specs, it's a great looking truck with good bones, glad I cancelled my platinum, I'll hang tight for this beast.

You see that the GT will also have an EB and it will be rated for 600+hp...one place said a 3.6EB, all the rest I've found said 3.5 so I have to think the first one was a typo. Still, if they can get 600hp for their supercar, 400 is nothing really.

Yes it has the turbos I am testing for FR it is a 3.5 with the truck bottom end. Geoff posted about it in the FR thread

I have been testing the new turbos on my truck for over a month now. It's faster then my wife's 2014 jeep srt. I'm sure some people can't handle it not having a v8 but with the 10 speed and this motor with these turbos this truck and new suspension will run circles around the old truck. They are the same turbos that are on the new GT

Weird trend on the GT. Had the truck 5.4, now this has the truck 3.5.


Not a fan of the engine choice, but I'm not buying so who cares

I'm in Colorado taking care of my dad who just had a serious back sugery but when I get back home I will set up another race with the wife and get video. Here are some pics of her jeep including at the track. Her best pass so far is a 12.9@105 only mods she has are a catch can and CAI. Best part is I'm not fully tuned yet
