I've pulled boats 4+hrs without a problem and tow a few times a month. Sure I'd rather a diesel, but surely not a 5.0 V8 over what I have.

Because occasionally I haul or tow shite that can't fit in a car

I may be dumb on some things, but I'm pretty sharp about buying cars and trucks.

You buy a has-been flood car and you let me know how it works out.

Sport.

I say wait until the 2018's come out and get a deal on the 2017's. I am waiting because I always on the last year of the new body style and am waiting an extra year to flip the trend.

Yes, and one 4.6 which is the biggest piece of shite engine ever.


The 4.6 may not have a lot of power but it's the most reliable Triton V8 Ford has produced.

No I'm not driving but I know because I'd rather stare at that than my MPGs

Agree.

5.4 was a pile of crap, but it got better later on.

Dude, you can't get a 3.5 in a Kia.



You can't get a woman in a Kia either, but that's another thread.

Maybe, now that I think about it the transmission in that truck eventually went out. I put a lot of miles on it and I remember the fricking engine would roar like crazy but the truck just wasn't moving, and I mean something simple like getting on the interstate to merge

The 4.6 is weak as shite but it was one of the most reliable ford has engines (minus the plug issues) I have 1/4 million miles and have done literally nothing to the engine but change the oil

My 2016 GMC Sierra is a fantastic truck. Loaded with features, quiet, and drives great.

Plus those LEDs.
