05_gaSShog Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Yeah yeah I know, but I got a killer deal. The SS has been gone for about 3 months....for this 2013 SuperCrew Ecoboost F-150. So far it's been tinted, plati-dipped front emblem, solo mach-x exhaust, blacked out side mirror markers, and now she's tuned, too. I wanted the FX4 but it was about 6K more and I didn't want it that bad, lol. It's a nice truck, E-locker, hill-descent,truck apps, my sync, a lot of options minus leather and PTM numbers.

1BAD2K Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Only ford truck I could drive would be a lightning or raptor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05_gaSShog Posted May 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) Ohhh snap, I knew it was going to be bad but c'mon guys, lol. I was having some severe issues putting a second car seat in the SS, so I needed an upgrade. After the tune is pretty snappy and amazingly torquey. Still need Fx heads and tails. The surround is also getting PTM. From she'll get a 2" level and some 33's in about a year. Turbos sound pretty cool, too. I was going to get a new Vortec...but the Ford was a good deal cheaper. Pulled her out the door for 23,900 after trade and no money down. And they threw in the Rhino liner for free. To be honest I think it's slightly faster now than the SS was. The SS was zippy tuned, ported TB, 2nd and 4 gear synchros, intake, true duals, and thermostat (I think 170*). I really miss the AWD though and the dual climate control....I should've sprung for that.

Downeast Johnny Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 I can understand needing more room but I'm glad that I don't have to make the decision to get rid of the SSS. Good luck with the new truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcsilveradoss Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 i like my 2013 fx4 eco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05_gaSShog Posted May 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 I almost kept the SS, too...but when they said 16K....I said it's yours!!! This new tune in this thing is absolutely great. I waited till my patrol car (2013 interceptor--basically SHO) had 15K on it. If it holds up to 15K miles of patrol use...the truck should hold up to 100K, lol. The trasmission is actually a pain in the arse....it's adaptive and if you don't get on it frequently it'll shifter slower than cold molasses lol. KC, the fx4 in the grey was calling me pretty hard but in the end I said...I can buy more mods sooner, lol. I wish ford started doing bumper wraps instead of painting them though. Rock chips will rust that way. I'm pretty happy w/ it so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianVRss Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 The SSS Trans is also adaptive. You can tune it out though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1ss Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Ford frames saved my life, so I can never bash Ford. I love their trucks, amazing work trucks and never had one issue with the F250 Diesel. Much more creature comforts than the SS imo. I dig that truck a lot, I am not a chrome fan but overall one nice looking hauler! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
