Nice truck always loved the Fords. With the 5.0L (Mustang GT) engine I bet it moves out empty. How does it pull your trailer?
Thank you, I really got lucky getting the truck I really wanted.

It's only got about 450 miles on so can't tow with it yet. Break In is for 1000 miles, so I still have some time. Then I have to adjust the hitch from the 2012 F150.
It is the second faster vehicle I've owned. The first being a 2010 Mustang GT Convertible Premium.
These trucks are pretty quick for the last 12 years. My 2004 Titan 5.6L Crew Cab was quick at 7.3 sec 0 - 60, my 2010 F150 Crew Cab 5.4L was 7.9 sec 0 - 60, my 2012 F150 5.0L Crew Cab at 6.7 sec 0 - 60 and even my 2008 Sport Trac 4.6L at 7.5 sec 0 - 60.
I'm calculating from the lost of weight compared to the 2012 5.0L, and the 20 extra horsepower to be around 5.4 sec 0 - 60. I can't tell you how much power this thing has. I broke the wheel loose at about 35mph and barked them while accelerating to pass someone. Didn't expect it to take off that quick!
