18 F150 work truck

Having gone from a 3.5TT to a 5.3/6 speed, the 5.3 feels like a turd in all aspects, especially towing.

What year is your truck ?

Me either it came up when I was looking up when Gm went to a 10 speed on 1500s. I’ve driven many trucks and I’ve never been impressed with a 5.3. I wanted to see if I was missing something.

The 5.3 with the 6 speed was 100% shit for some reason. The 5.3 paired with the 10 speed is ALOT better.

If you get the poverty spec 5.3 you know you're gonna need a big Nagasaki noise maker from On3 installed if you plan on towing that pig Mustang you got too Jeff's...

Should've ordered a TRX.

I honestly would have gone with the turbo 4 banger, but GM doesn’t let you pick any options if you select that engine. Not sure what that’s all about.

Bought new in 18. The F150 was a 13

My 2016 Sierra was a 5.3 with an 8 speed. Ran 15.8 in the 1/4 mile.... yes, I took the truck to the track ( friends company's rental ). Granted it was August and 85+ degrees.
My current 2020 Sierra is a 6.2 with a 10 speed.... this gets my vote if you can swing it. I believe motorweek tested a 2019 or 2020 Denali with this combo and it ran 13.6

Granted I'm pushing more weight, but the 6.2/10 speed just fucking boogies.

Would be nice, but my company is buying this truck, so it's hard to justify a big ole honkin motor when it isn't needed.

RIP Platty! Lol

Good news is my new Silverado was built on 3/20 and is on its way.

The moron in the Chevy just ram into you or what?

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

damn! Must have been a hard hit to bend the frame like that

 

[Jeffs FRC]

Yes. We were stopped, light turned green, and as soon as my foot came off the brake the guy slammed into me. Guarantee he was texting. He got cited and is the at fault driver.

Back of my head and neck are a bit sore, but other than that, I feel pretty ok. Lady in front got taken in ambulance. She was crying in pain when I got to her, I think her foot might have been broke.

Holy crap! How fast was he going? This is a solid reminder that trucks don't have shit for crumple zones, lol

I have absolutely no idea. I was not looking in my rear view at all so I didn't see it coming. His airbags did not go off though, so he couldn't have been going too fast. Just a lot of weight he had in his momentum.

That's like 15 minutes with a chain and heavy tree.

Glad your ok Jeffe! Can't wait to see you behind the wheel of a silveraydo!

 

[01bluesnake]

Dang, glad your okay. Imagine if you were in the mustang. I like driving trucks or big SUV's for this exact reason.

 

[Terminator-Fux]

Fucking idiots not paying attention anywhere. First my car now your rig. I'm sure Platty will join my car at Co-Part

 

[The Beast]

Jeff glad u are ok and your 5 kids weren’t in the f-150.
