I’m sort of surprised Ford hasn’t released something like this already. Most of the other car companies have an “off-roady” version of their crossover SUVs and they seem to be selling well. Even if they’re just used for a scary trip to WholeFoods or some shit…

Had this for a rental for a week & a half. It was a low end rental spec Big Bend edition. It actually wasn’t bad. The 1.5eco was semi- adequate, but I’d definitely opt for a 2.0 if I had to own one. The only benefit of the 1.5 is the gauge reported 30mpg(I didn’t hand calculate it) and that was...

I’ve always wished US Mags would release the U101 slots in late model friendly offsets…but nothing yet. This guy had custom wheels made by Augment Wheel Company to complete his Bill Stroppe “Baja Bronco” tribute, but I’m sure they were pricey!

If you go turbo, Marty at Mo's Speed Shop knows Panther tuning if you don't move to a stand alone system. I was surprised simple mods to my buddies '07 Town car; P71 front swaybar, factory 21mm rear bar, home ported upper plenum & P71 intake(that requires a tune) actually feels pretty good...

I will agree that it could be strong competition for the current regular Raptor just based on price and consumers typical use of trucks like this.

You'll notice one thing missing from that video that was prominently displayed in all things TRX related...the engine soundtrack. I totally get the turbo I6 has many advantages that outweigh engine sound. But it kind of reminds me of super foods that taste bad...I eat them because my mind can...

A friend of mine has super clean stuff and is tired of being worried about it, so he's building a rough around the edges '67 Bel Air with a leftover BBC and will beat it like a rented mule! There are times when I'm worried about where I'm parking, did I clean it good enough...that this sounds...

This was a badass G-body a guy was building on here...not sure what happened to it? I bought a 1 of 1 car, be jealous

Was this a special order that someone backed out on and you picked up? I thought Green Bordered window stickers indicated a customer special order? What do you think of the Recaro's? I hate them in my wife's Focus RS...and I'm not a big guy.

I'll definitely watch it! Probably a good thing Hugh did it now...at 55, I imagine the ability to achieve the Wolverine bod is fast coming to a close.

Thread title reminded me of this vintage SNL skit...

True! Hell it even states right in the ad "You get 290 hp at 6000 easy revs. And it can be tuned for more."

Buddy lent me a stack of vintage Hot Rod mags and I thought this '69 Boss 302 ad was pretty cool. What they used to advertise...valve size, optional gear ratios...now its "how big is the screen" or "automatic butt wiper" I like my late model stuff, but this is just neat to see what guys were...

Nope, the BBR guy is the previous owner of the truck, but he does have a BBF fox body. I think the previous owner is friends with the current owner.

Too funny!! I watched this truck get built from a stock abandoned CL find...to much of how it looks now on the BangShift forums. 1973 F-250 - Turbo BBF - It's off to a new home! - The BangShift.com Forums He sold it and looks like the new owner has continued the build, looks...

I'll be curious to hear you opinion of tracking a traditional manual trans car and now moving to DCT. Love that color combo!

Well at least for GM's...OBS came about during the early 2000's when forums were just starting. We used NBS (new body style) to refer to the current 99-06 trucks, OBS (old body style) for 88-98 trucks and OOBS for square bodys. This worked fine for a while... (eventually there was NNBS for the...

Yep, I hear you. I can't see where a conversion to ICE over electric makes sense, especially on a nice older truck, but I do find the concept interesting. I like the thoughts of: • 100% torque instantaneously • Overall efficiency increases • minimal driveline components/wear/service The issue...

I am definitely curious about a fuel over electric concept like the Ramcharger vs. straight EV. But, I'm not convinced that the efficiency improvement is good enough to warrant the effort. The old Chevy volt used this idea, but I don't believe it was VASTLY more efficient than current ICE...

There is a rumor of a variant of this engine in a "TRX" but I assume it would have a significant power increase over the HO 3.0 available in other top trim trucks. This test mule started the rumor. You can hear it at the 27 second mark. Sounds a little Supra'ish....?

I was looking for exhaust sound vids and ran across this CrAzY dyno test rig for the new 3.0. Maybe this is old news, but I hadn't seen a torture test on a dyno that tilts at all angles while running the piss outa the engine.

I'm excited about the power increase, but as expected, the sound will be disappointing... It will be interesting see what the "improved mpg" is. Fords ecoboost motors claimed the same thing 13 years ago...but the mpg improvement wasn't very dramatic, although probably good enough to move the...

I hear ya! I'm using Fluid Film now, but used Krown for years previously. And as careful as I am...I always find a spot I missed and things get crusty quick. Kind of funny...it seems a lot of the Cybertruck bitching is overly observant owners finally noticing "rail dust", which has been on all...

Had to chuckle a little over this...guys have been bitching for years about the unpainted rear axles in their $85K trucks turning to a rusty mess instantaneously in the rust belt. The cybertruck is no different. Cars are disposable around here....

I like a lot of Fords smaller offerings...and this may be stupid...but I just can't get over how Fords current small displacement engines sound. I can't go WOT all the time, so the engine soundtrack is a good portion of my driving enjoyment. I suppose if they included a really good selectable...
