jalopnik: best full size pickup under 40k

[Jeffs FRC]

It did but I was the only one who noticed it. The livernois tune is how they should of come. Despite it not being balls out like 5-star and some of these other tuners it fixed any and every small gripe I had with the truck. Mostly this centered around transmission shifting programming but I was the only one in my family who noticed that problem too.

Man I noticed it on the test drive big time.

The shift strategies are horrible! Sometimes I'll step on the gas in my work truck and wait a second for it to figure out which gear it wants, then I wait another second for the turbo to spool and the thing takes off. Maybe I'll look into a tuner for the work van...lol

Jeff's truck is sc I'm sure the crew u have is heavier with the long box. I think it might be an even race

New F series are lighter Gomez I'd bet he still might be lighter than me. Plus with a tune there is no way my truck will touch an Eco. I am currently waiting for MPT to release an E85 tune. Mike from MPT told me it's their top priority right now so hopefully soon. Right now I'm just running an 87 tune from SSI

26mpg to Mississippi, averaging 78-80 mph. Just sayin'.

Yeah, an ecoboost isn't gonna touch that, at least until the 10 speed comes out. There is only a 15 cent difference between unleaded and diesel around here now. A year ago, it was much more economical for me to trade my 14mpg diesel for a gas pickup that got 10mpg. It will be interesting to see what happens in the future.

For [MENTION=19]Kay Jay[/MENTION]

CLIFFS: You can skip the middle 8 minutes of the video. I did, and got just as much out of it they filled it to the brim, did a 45 minute loop, and went back to the same station/pump and topped off again. They compared the trip computer with the miles per gallons refilled, and were within .2 mpg (computer said 23 MPG, calc said 22.8) EPA for their truck was 23 MPG highway

sounds like a ford sponsored video i don't trust it fuck them

 

[Yaj Yak]

ford probably read this thread and saw my amazing ability to talk people out of ford trucks and panicked and had the video made.

 

[Primalzer]

I don't trust a 45 minute loop. Run out the entire tank.

And you did a shit job of talking out of a Ram.

And you did a shit job of talking out of a Ram.

I never tried to talk anybody out of a Ram. The F150 was the better truck to suit my requirements. I just shared my experiences.

i heard a person at the trailer store today complaining about her ecoboost and it being out of warranty and needing a turbo already. cool.

 

[crooks]

Do all the rams come with a cooler in the floor? Guy I am riding to work with has a crew cab work model cummins with a cooler. Wtf how come my truck doesnt have a built in cooler

That's why you don't buY the first year or two of a brand new model. wait a couple years for the issues to get sorted

I'm pretty sure they do but only on the crew cabs. All the ones I've looked at have. 'Merica.

I have it but use it for crap I can't fit under the seat. I wanted the ram box but it wasn't available when I bought mine. The passenger side rear has a thumpin' Alpine sub and the stereo sounds pretty damn good to someone who isn't an Audiophile.
