Looks pretty cool but I would rather buy a Bowler Nemesis EXR with the 5ltr S/C V8

I am sure the F-150 would be good offroad but I grew up with Land Rovers and know how good they are from the "Land Rover Experience".

Do pick-ups still run ladder chassis with leaf suspension or have they advanced a little bit now [rofl]

I guess there are lots of derogatory terms related to pick-up truck owners aswell. [surrender]

Would love to see them in a race [thumbup]

That's about as far from a fair compairson as you can get!

Sure, lets race, but first you have to put a queen sized mattres and box spring in the back--then you can race.

Ford's have had boxes frame rails for quite a while already... and the suspension, what do you think they should have, a set of coilovers? You do realize that ancient leaf suspension is what enables these trucks to be able to haul thousands of pounds right?

Lets face it, pickups aren't for proformance--they're for when you need to haul stuff that wouldn't fit in a car--or some toys.
