Very cool. I honestly think the shorter Gen 1s will be kind of a niche collectable years from now. They're cheaper now because most people want/need the crew, but I think that will change.

In any case, the factory bead wheels and a super charger make this one hot.

Thats a Beauty. Jealous of the Super Charger, always wanted one. Gonna wait a few yrs when I do a Engine rebuild then I'll modify internals to safely handle pressures.

Thanks everyone! One thing I haven’t been pleased with is the idle…. I’m in the middle of changing the plugs… thanks to this forum… so far so good! Thanks again!

Well keep in mind I’ve only had the truck a few months… but… Symptoms: The first thing I noticed was it almost stalled when I stopping in the parking lot to back into a parking space …. stuttered a bit! Next- I noticed the “tic” of a bad wire / plug under the hood…. lastly, under a heavy foot, acceleration, some breaking up…. Read this Forum about plug issues… decided to pull a few wires and plugs… so far found 5 plugs with broken anode rods and a boot not fully seated! Truck has 63k miles on it … pretty sure not touched since it left the Roush garage…except for general maintenance, . It needs some TLC…. LOL

Thank you
I’m chasing some issues with mine but I think it’s just me being over critical
