    2011 TwinForce F-150 EPA figures

    From what I've been reading (test drives and such), people are getting higher than the EPA ratings for both city and highway driving. Only time will tell.

    2011 TwinForce F-150 EPA figures

    Baby steps....agreed. I would have liked to see more mileage, too, though. Taking into consideration it's a V6 doing what the V8s can do, it's impressive. To me (IMO) it was just hyped up more than it should have been. At least it is a step in the right direction. :thumbs:

    Backup cameras to become mandatory?

    I haven't been backed over yet, so I have no opinion.

    EcoBoost Torture Test - Nascar Track Testing

    You up early or going to bed late? :lol: I think we all hate this kind of marketing. :cheers: I agree....that annoys me, too. Not really because of looks, but because it's slightly awkward when I try to ride with the windows down and my arm out the window. A bit too high (and I'm tall).

    EcoBoost Torture Test - Nascar Track Testing

    Do you not consider the 5.3L a "big boy V8"? :dunno: I sure do...just like I consider Ford's 5.4L a big boy V8. I'm not ashamed to admit that it seems like the EcoBoost is better than the 5.4L that I currently have. I think a better comparison for GMs 6.2L is Fords new 6.2L, which I haven't...

    EcoBoost Torture Test - Nascar Track Testing

    Why not impressed? When comparing the 3.5L (213 CID) against a 6.2L (379 CID), it's pretty much comparing two different animals. Like Michael mentioned, also, the 6.2L is for more of a niche market---it's not the top-selling V8 from GM. Either way, I think the idea is to show that a small TT...

    Help me pick stereo for wifes Liberty

    I have the Z110BT, which is the older version of the Z120BT. Any idea why the newer model is cheaper? I was going to recommend checking out the P3200BT earlier, but forgot to post before I fell asleep. I personally like the looks of it better since it doesn't have a giant knob...

    Viper 5901 Secrurity/Remote Start

    Yeah if I had the extra money I'd probably have bought more sensors. The audio sensors for glass breaking, as you mentioned. The tilt sensor to prevent wheel theft or towing. Would also add a few more shock sensors around the truck so I can turn down the sensitivity. The back-up battery is...

    How long?

    I can. Have gotten my last two vehicles ('02 Ranger/'07 F150) from Carmax. Everyone's experience is different, of course. Mine has been good, though.....great prices, great trade-in values, and I personally love the no-haggle deal. I'm not a huge shopper, so I like to get my stuff and get...

    How long?

    Same as most---found it the same day I went looking. My prior vehicle was purchased at Carmax, so they gave me a great deal on a trade-in. They had a few different makes on the lot, and after trying a few I settled on the 150. Not a big brand guy---the FX4 Luxury package was hard to pass up...

    How to Detail your Vehicle back to a Show-Room Finish

    :cheers: It is expensive if you go all out, but detailing supplies have been the best purchases for my truck. Being able to make it look better than it did off the lot is quite a feat. Turns a lot of heads. Yes, man, I'm looking forward to graduating so I can have a few days to spend...

    Former Ford employee pleads guilty to stealing $50M in trade secrets

    Whatever crew they use to track this stuff is doing work. They even busted a small-time company (ran by husband and wife) for doing custom FX4 decals and F-150 inlays (little stickers that go in the badges). Now us F150 guys have a hard time customizing those things. Completely different...
