thats a decent looking truck with good power. ditch that long *** fleet side bed, and then its a nice looking truck. i am not a fan at all of the new ford body style, but that one looks pretty good.

Tell that to all the people without homes or lives. What about all the people over there, including American troops, that are working on the relief effort. With that aside, the name is still a rip off!

I can't believe I'm the only one that thinks those wheels are FUGLY!

XLR8SS is right, those log exhaust manifolds are a freakin' joke. Good job SVT, typical supercharger/exhuast upgrade.

You know whats funny, is someone just finished syaing to me the other day on this board but not this thread!! That "its not like ford doesnt know how to make big engines that can perform" and my immediate response was ok then why did the mustang go from a 5.0l to a 4.6 and why does the stock V10 put out the same numbers as our 6.0?? This just further proves my point, they cant make an all engine popwertrain that makes ampil power I understand its cool to have 512hp and 640ftrq but COME ON GUYS, They're doing it one with a huge engine that isnt worth **** by itself, and two, who can't just throw a SC on theyre ride and up some boost and make the same if not better numbers!! No matter how you look at it that thing wont outrun a SRT10, nor the LIGHTNING for that matter. Stop ooing and aaaaing at every new ford vehicle that comes out witha DAMN BLOWER!!!! The whole ford lignup is a joke!! And there isnt really a single FORD that can run straight up head to head with a simliar model CHEVY!!!!

Not with gas prices as high as they are.
BTW I was told that the blower on the GT was made by Eaton
