Rogue_Alphonse Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 (edited) At least if I remember correctly it puts me at 20. Before this the newest "car" I had ever owned was my $150 2002 Club Car golf cart. It's too quick for my own good lol Oh and I got a free CD to boot!

atomicinumatt Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Dooode, Chocolate Star Fish! Such a classic haha And yea, all the latest gen trucks are pretty fast these days. I got a Silverado last year. Has the ten speed auto and that thing gets going when I give it the beans haha I wanna put a Whipple on it but it probably does not need it. Enjoy the new wheels man! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a 3700 mile trip in 4 days in my stepdad's very similarly optioned 2019 Silverado 5.3 and while it did ride nice and was quick, I couldn't get comfortable in it. And something about this F150 is intimidating. It's an EcoBoost and I had driven a couple 5.0's but this (particular) truck shits and gets lmao. I tickle 100 by accident. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it but everyone has their preferences haha the eco boosts are turbo, right?

They will go forever and sip gas, all while providing adequate power. I'm just not a fan of the whole thing it is attached to XD The Ecoboost is a twin turbo, and dangerously easily tunable >.> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well let me lay it all out for you and you can decide on this. Originally I wanted a 2007-2011 Explorer Sport Trac - strictly a v8 one. Decent towing capacity for an eventual bigger camper, has a usable rear seat, is midsize like my Jeep - which is really all I need in that department... but has a truck bed (the cargo area of my Jeep is fucking worked from treating it like a truck) and I really need 4x4 a lot. Snow, muddy yards, and mainly... beach. These happen to be hard to come by in decent shape with okay miles, and therefore are overpriced. A 2018 and newer Ranger is comparable, but I don't want a $600+ note I ended up test driving a couple trucks very similar to what I got, but they were 5.0 v8's... which is fine, but I don't *need* a v8 (the Sport Trac being an exception because the v6 had 9 miles of timing chains and fail points, hence my want for the v8). I ended up getting a 3.5 Ecoboost v6, which makes comparable horsepower and an ass slap more torque than the 5.0... BUT. I am managing decent miles per gallon with it. So when I'm not using it for truck purposes it drives like a big car, and I now have even more truck abilities than i would with that Sport Trac or a current Ranger. Which means not only can I get an even bigger camper (I am in the market for a fixer-upper, and the bigger ones are cheaper than the little ones like I had wanted for weight purposes), but also I camp in a couple places that allow golf carts... so I can haul that too. But also, the second day I owned it I brought home 64 pavers to build a patio. If I have the tool, I use the tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
