racer254 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 They have been overpriced by about 10k, so the trucks are just getting back to a normal price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anler Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 They need to provide better engine options in their trucks. With Republican gas prices coming back they should present some efficient options. Ford would be 10 years behind again right quick...

Yeah mine is horrible at 22/24 mpg everyday day driving and 30 if I nurse it. It can get the same mpg as my girlfriend's Ford Fusion. I'm sure the F150 ecoboost does way better right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GMs are geared too high. My ram has a 3.91 rear and it's a monster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 If you buy a truck with a 4.3, you may as well go the gay Daive route and get a BRZ with a garden cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Skidooski Posted December 29, 2016 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted December 29, 2016 30 mpg best city and still pulls my 2 place in line R & R easily. Not much to complain about here and when I turn this lease in I might even get another 4.3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like I have to floor it as well to make it move. Ford is a much better performing truck all around than the Chev. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
