Seat of the pants feels is as quick or quicker than my 5.4 V-8 F-150's. No ecoboost, but that is not what I wanted
Thanks for the review Tom. I am interested in a short cab short bed F 150 with that base V6 with a 3.55 axle. I will use it as a daily but have considered pulling a 4kish tt. Keep us updated.
Regards Sir.
