[QUOTE="TerminatoRS, post: 16327703, member: 195778"] Not all the time. I personally have a love-hate relationship with the trans. Awesome when you lay into it from a stop and it actually uses every gear. It likes to skip second and third quite often under normal to light acceleration which would be fine, but it takes a fraction of a second longer. So I tend to subconsciously push the pedal a tad harder when I notice the delay and then it bogs a bit once it gets into fourth. It also take 6 years to go into reverse on occasion which isn't that big of a deal, but when I can stop, physically shift into R, start cranking the wheel and give it a little gas before it engages, it can be a little annoying. The 2.7 is plenty for the 99.9% of us who drive around with nothing in or behind the truck. It's not a rocket, but it's surprisingly quick for what it is and responds well to simple mods + tune. I'd bet my stock '19 2.7 Supercab with 10-speed is quicker than my intake + tune '14 Tremor was. Plus the '19 came free with my new job and even included a gas card so even if it were slow, it'd still be awesome. lol If I were buying a truck from the Ford lineup with the intent to modify it for speed, I'd likely choose the 3.5. Bolt-on's, HPFP upgrade, and a tune can equate to 550+rwhp. I love a Coyote, but dollar for dollar in mods, the 3.5 will outshine it. Now if we're talking Whipple or TT money, the tables would of course turn. [/QUOTE]
