Wow, pretty impressive numbers from Ford. Again, the HP and torque wars don't really do much for me though. I agree with a lot of other posters, longevity of emissions products, increased reliability and less expensive overall cost of ownership and fuel mileage are more important to me.
For those people that need a bigger number to make themselves feel better or somehow more adequate, this is a great truck. Don't forget a lift kit and dual stacks to increase the appearance of your package though...
Funny thing Ford only added 75ft. lbs and we get this feedback. All brands of trucks get lifted and only one brand gets that plus the rear view mirror flipped up treatment. :R
And this is coming from a guy who keeps his trucks ~2 years and trades it in for a new one. On the other hand my dpf equipped truck is 4 years old with 97k miles a not a single repair or safety recall on the entire truck during this period but I did have 1 emissions related recall. I have no reason to believe my truck will go another 100k miles with no drivetrain repairs required and still maintain 400HP/800ft.lbs :B.
Like I said earlier... Towing just got easier! :W
