Good to see that the abomination called EcoBoost is not in that truck.

But what is the range / mpg? Doesn’t matter, I don’t have any money anyways, LOL.

Rented a new Ford truck in 2009 for a little hauling. Loved it. Haven’t loved one like that since a co-worker bought a new white Dodge Ram in 1994 (oh I’m sure I’ve missed a lot).

I could virtually watch the gas gauge go down as I was driving it. Wasn’t quite used to that after my small cars, LOL.

My Dad brought back four Gurkha knives and three Samurai swords home from India and Burma after World War II.

Nevertheless, a perfect urban assault vehicle! Good for tours of Detroit!

Interesting thanks for the article, we just shipped about 6 of these off to Europe a few weeks back from my ‘place of work’, didn’t know what they were till now, but definitely not the civilian version since they had the cupola’s for machine gun mounts.
