My 2011 F150 runs 14.4 in the 1/4 Mile - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

Yesterday the drag strip opened for the first time this year. I was able to make 4 passes and my best time was 14.44 @ 95.75 MPH (governor kicked in right before the traps).
My truck is a regular cab STX 2wd with the 5.0 and 3.31 standard axle. Not having a limited slip was a pain and only netted me a 2.135 seconds to the 60 foot mark.
For next weekend's track day I will have the Boss 302 intake, AFE air intake and a SCT tune all from 5 star tuning ready to go for round 2!

:rofl: and before you say craziness... id still go ecoboost over 5.0... not just for the small performance aspect... but the huge towing gains as well as mileage jump.


when i wasn't beating on the truck this weekend- best mpgs i got was around 12... :fu:






another side note... i do not own this truck, nor is that me in the video... i rented one this past weekend. and it was fun as shit. definitely needs a tune tho. the truck basically shuts off during the shifts.

We tested a regular cab short bed RWD 5.0 F150 with 3.73 gear last year that was dubbed "Son of Lightning."

And it was less than $30k with Sync and some nice options. I mean, it was useless for carrying anything compared to the other trucks we tested, but damn it was fun to drive.

Saying that, I'd still take an Ecoboost.
