^^^What I don't get is why? If a person wants the acceleration of a Civic why not just buy a Civic? I don't think I have ever put my foot to the floor with my truck when I wasn't towing. Even towing it is rare that I am to the floor.
Really? I am not stupid and I know the "Civic" comment is intentional passive aggressive dig because it is not a PSD in the video. Yet you tout the 475 hp bump when the engine in question is a PSD.... So obviously you want more power or you would not be excited about Ford increasing it. The last time I did a 0-60 run tuned, it was 5.6 seconds which is well under the 7-8 seconds that a standard Civic can do.
As I have stated before in other threads, it is not just about the power at 2,800 rpm. It is about the power at 1,300-1,800 rpm that is more important and makes the truck more fun to drive. My tuned horsepower at 1,800 is more than what I made stock at 2,600 rpm which not only helps keep me in a lower gear when towing, but also makes the truck more fun to drive.
There is nothing wrong with someone wanting the truck they will drive for 200-300k miles to be more fun to drive. I have seen people spend way more money than what it costs to delete a truck on other things that brings them joy like RVs or building a garage queen classic car. Maybe they can't afford to have both a hot rod and a daily driver truck that is also used to tow.
I know many friends back in the day that the same diesel truck they drove to work all week was the same one they would head to the drag strip with drag tires in the bed on Friday night, blow the doors of a few mustangs, and put the street tires back on to head back home. That very same truck was used to haul the cattle trailer on Saturday and take the family to church on Sunday. It was their passion in life and there is nothing wrong with that. Some of these friends still do it although they are well off enough to have a dedicated race vehicle. It wasn't just diesel guys either. I knew a lot of guys with supped up daily driver cars or motorcycles that did the same. Even if they didn't take it to the strip, it was what they liked to do and there is nothing wrong with that.
