The Furd was a dog to the field when I test drove one before I bought the Titan in 04, and apparently continuously thru 2010? New engines just out in 2011. Pretty amazing they sold so many of them.
"Ford's three-valve-per-cylinder 5.4-liter V8 made the F-150 slower to 60 mph than every other truck here. The heavier Toyota was nearly a staggering 3 seconds faster. All of the other trucks were quicker when carrying 1000 pounds than the Ford was empty."
"The F-150 is the heaviest here at a porky 5921 pounds. And despite the newly empowered 5.4-liter V8, that weight hurts acceleration and handling. It was the slowest and required the longest distances to come to a rest."
