Ford F150 3.7 L V6
I may be looking at one of these trucks. In a super crew 2 wheel drive configuration. It has 3.73 rear axle ratio. And a tow rating around 6000 pounds. This little motor has more power than my 97 F150...

Yawn. Not hostile. But I do get bothered by ignorant people who take the tripe that TFL posts as fact. Those are probably the most cluseless people on the planet.
But let's hear what these guys say about the 3.7

So now I bet you are thinking I just drove all of Ford's F-150's and just finished driving the weakest engine in Ford’s lineup. So how could it not be the slowest truck I drove today? Did the Dodge's Hemi blow up or transmission fall to the ground? No. The honor of the slowest truck today goes to the Chevrolet Silverado equipped with the 5.3-liter V-8.
The Generation IV OHV Small Block V-8 puts out 315 HP at 5,200 RPM and 338 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,400 RPM. So how could the Silverado be slower then the 3.7-liter V-6 equipped F-150- which makes less HP and even less torque? Did Ford tamper with the vehicle? Did gum get stuck on the tire? The only conclusion I could conjure up with is that it is just weak."
