Default Fastest quarter mile in 2011?

One of the other threads got me thinking. . . what's the fastest 2011 F150 model and engine?

I'm thinking either a RCLB XL with the 3.5TT would be a runner. It even comes with the 3.73 limited slip rear. The SuperCrew 3.5's have run 14.6, so I would think the RCLB XL would be in the low 14's.

However, the 6.2 SuperCrew actually has a better power/weight than the RCLB 3.5TT. However, Car and Driver only ran a 15.1 at 92 with that truck.

It appears as though you can get a 6.2 SuperCab Lariat, which may be a runner.

Opinions? Will any break into the 13's?

No stock Ford truck will run in the 13's. I have a hard time believing that any stock Ford truck ran a 14.6.

I'm not much of a drag racer, but I bet a SCAB / FX4 / E-locker / 4.11 / EcoBoost 3.5TT would be a contender.

That would be disappointing if it were the case. Ford has claimed the EB to have the same power as the 5.7 Tundra, which will run 13's stock RCSB. The EB RCLB shouldn't be that much heavier.

Also, pickuptrucks.com ran 14.67 in a stock EB SuperCab. It's pretty well documented.

I think the breaking point is that you can't get an EB in the lightest truck configuration. I'm pretty sure you can only get it in a scab. Maybe if they bump the power up in a couple years or add the rcab option

They do offer the EB in the regular cab long bed XL, but not any short bed. The 6.2 is not offered in any regular cab.

For a mere $30k plus the cost of a Raptor.

Nice. What were the speeds, temp, elevation, and mileage on the truck?
