Gen2 Discussion for Gen1 Owners

Is that the 3.5l eco?

I like those. Wouldn't mind having one for my track team when we travel.

Yes, has the 3.5L, the thing is a beast, blows my old 2014 Van with the 5.4 away in speed and fuel mileage!

That's why I was asking the guys who have driven the F150 how it responded. The Fusion eco I drove definitely had lag and then it kicked it too hard which on snowy roads would have been dangerous. Can't have that driving off-road at all.

Most I did was a test drive at last years auto show. I still think there is a tiny bit of lag, but its almost un-noticable. The two turbos rather then 1 is the trick I guess.

I'm liking the BITD Raptor they're racing this weekend but the plain ones still have me concerned. Boring instead of beast. Will they or do they look that much better in person?

I didn't like the look of the new mustang but in person badassery

I do like these Mustangs better than recent ones. I'm a Fox body Mustang person though. Would love to have another late 80s/early 90s. Maybe a 93 Cobra but I'll take a new one if someone gives me one. But I would love a GT350!!

I see the same thing in the comparison. Gen1 looks more like a beast and the gen2 looks tame. From the back, I swear ours our wider. Just confirms that I probably won't feel any different when I see one in person. Hmmm. Leaning second gen1 when the time comes.

Pretty lame excuses but news. Still don't like that a brand new truck could not even make it two laps in the desert, especially if it's electrical. These trucks are meant to fly through the desert and get you home after all. I know mine's not left me stranded yet in 3 years.

^we still don't know what kind of problem could be something as simple as a pinched wire do to making it a race raptor. roll cage and what not...

The silence from Ford is deafening. Just making me wonder.
