I'm finding with the more power trucks as the F150, your 0 - 60 and 1/4 mile times aren't going to be reflective of their power next to a sports car.

I drove a 2016 F250 Crew 4WD XLT with the 6.2L gasser and 3.73 locker and it was plenty powerful providing similar power to my previous 2010 F150 Crew 4WD XLT 5.4L 3V w/3.55 Limited Slip. Plenty enough power to tow heavy just not as easy as a diesel that cost so much more in engine, fuel, and maintenance.
