That must be fast! The only thing it can't pass is a gas station.

That hood scoop looks like it came straight out of a 1970's era JC Whitney catalog..........

Very smart to combine with the lift kit, YouTube needs more videos.

Color me confused as to what exactly the point of this?
It is too expensive to use as a truck. The bed is too small to use as a truck. It is too heavy to use as a performance/handling vehicle. It is too tall to use as a handling vehicle. F150's do not have that high of a towing capacity to make it a towing vehicle. I supose if it is plush enough inside it could be a redneck grand touring vehicle as long as you stay on the highways. Guess if you have enough money and/or a small enough phallus you can justify just about anything.

I do not understand and it does not fall inline with my ideals and notions of what things have to be therefore I will bash it and make fun of it. To each there own, live and let live.

the traction control on my box-stock 320 hp F-150 kicks in at darn near every slow turn and stoplight, I can't imagine how they could possibly use all that power in a pickem up.
I don't have posi, that would help but I still don't see it helping THAT much. Just too light back there. |

When I started using Michelin Lattitude Sport 275/50-20 tires on my Silverado, the traction problems virtually went away. Heck that truck handled almost as good as my Cayenne.

Since when is adding more power a bad thing? My F-150 Ecoboost towed great when stock, now with a few upgrades it tows even better!

It is too expensive to use as a truck. - Yup, its expensive but take a loaded track and add upgrades like this has and you are not far off. Plus in many cases these upgrades on a pickup can be a tax writeoff depending on your line of work. The bed is too small to use as a truck. - Huh? Hardly anyone gets an 8' box anymore. My daily driver pickup has a 5'6" box. I have hauled 16' 2X10's with it (I roll down the back window). It has been used to haul lots of oilfield tools and equipment. Most pickup truck buyers don't haul 4x8 sheets of plywood anymore and when they do, they either fold down the tail gate or haul them on an angle with the tail gate up. It is too heavy to use as a performance/handling vehicle. - Yup, they don't handle like a Porsche but in a straight line, they are fine. You wont see many at track days. F150's do not have that high of a towing capacity to make it a towing vehicle. - ummm, actually some of them do. Some have higher tow capacities that a 10 year old one ton. I use my Tundra to tow a cattle trailer several times per year, a 27' ATC car hauler, a 16' Flat Deck, lots of oilfield tools and equipment. I also have a 2003 GMC 3500 Duramax Dually 4X4 and prefer to tow with the Tundra.

It may be great fun, who knows? I do know it should be driven with a degree of caution.

I think the real benefit here is when it slides into a crowd of people, they can just drop to the ground and go under it, unscathed, whereas they'd be hit by a Mustang.

Yup, you are right unclebilly. I do not own a truck and as such I am clearly not allowed to comment on my thoughts of what a truck is or should be. I apologize for the offense you have taken from my inappropriate remarks that impugn the usefulness of this magnificent creation. Thanks for taking some of your valuable time to set me straight.

For $102,000, I would buy a nice used Ford Raptor, AND a new coyote powered GT Mustang.
