ya but your 5.0 V8 or 3.5 EcoBoost (or whatever you have) will out-pull and out accelerate and flat out emberass any of the Mavericks powertrains so look at the bright side. Your truck has a fully boxed frame with an axle, a true transfer case, etc. a lot more goes into an F-150, even an XL base...
The Suburban is a great package with the 6.2L L87 and 3.0 Diesel motors. The 5.3 just isn’t enough anymore, there is nothing inherently wrong with it, it’s just fallen too far behind. I drove a Sierra before I pulled the trigger on my F-150 and I just couldn’t spend $50+k on an engine that...
I think some people are confused here. 4A is very nice to have, but in no way is it a safety issue lol. My Expedition EL has it and my F-150 does not. 4A is not AWD.
The key difference is when you aren’t accelerating it is not locked in by the clutches. In an AWD like a Subaru it is. Going...
Usually they do more than that, our gen 5.0L V8 got +5HP but also +10 lb ft at a lower rpm. A lot more of a difference reworking the whole power curve than the 5hp meets the eye.
Gen 1 was 360 hp/380 tq
Gen 2 was 385 hp/387 tq
Gen 3 was 395 hp/400 tq
Gen 4 is now 400 hp/410 tq
Considering the...
I also appreciate the design of this little 4WD control setup. The fact you can control the drive modes, what 4WD mode you are in, and the rear locker engagement from this little area is efficient. Kudos to the design team on fitting all that functionality into this little dusty control for us :).
I can’t fall asleep so this is what my mind is on tonight. Regarding the 3.31 & 3.73 Electronic Lock RR axles, does anyone have a diagram or pics of theirs opened up that shows how they work and the mechanics of it all? I see a plug goes into my rear differential housing, which I presume is some...
Oh child….you know not what you have done. The pitch forks….the torches….the chants….I can all ready hear them. Yes, here they come. The Turbo mob and the V8 mob…they approach in their battle armor. EVERYONE FIND SHELTER!!
As cool as leadfoot grey is your truck is second to none diambo, very tastefully done. I was between Avalanche Grey and Area 51 Blue. I went to the lot and stared and pondered in which one I wanted. Then I saw the Antimatter blue…..and I stared and pondered some more. Probably 45 minutes before...
