  1. Another note I forgot to mention. The MPG gauge has gotten more acurate compared to ealier models. Mine on ave is only off by .2 mpg. I prob won't get a real sense for the MPG for awhile leaving for Iraq soon....GGEEZZ>>LOL.....B
  2. Don't know but my 2011 EB Lariat has sound deadening panels inside the front fenders in the engine bay.
  3. The best I have got so far with my EcoBoost is 18.8 mpg with 3.73's. That was 20% town and 80%highway and I also only have 800 miles on the odometer.
  4. So easy to do. Benz and BMW have been doing it for years...Hell I can track a pair of socks I order from Cabelas but not a truck..lol Actually I can track my gear equipment on the battlefield of Iraq and Afgan...OBTW I love scanner and barcodes. makes life easier...
  5. I think torture test was Race Red...mine is Candy Red..extra 200 bucks..
  6. Have to get back with ya on the number it is at the house and I am at work tonight... Asked for the brochure for the f-150 and it had a voucher for 750 in it...B I did get the 500 test drive rebate but couldnt use it in conjuntion with the 750...
  7. IMHO it is well worth the wait....then when you get it you will have sleepless and restless nights where you can't sleep because you can't wait to drive it again...LOL
  8. I agree on the drag radials. Had them on my Mustang...soft rubber and they also don't handle very good in the rain...due to lack of grooves...B
  9. Yes I got the USAA pricing. Also Pentagon Federal Credit Union uses the same buying service now. I actaully got under the USAA price with the $750 voucher I got from Ford. When I used USAA tool I had to go to the upper left corner and change it from 2010 to 2011... Hope that helps..B
  10. Gave you on original truck but got one that came in that had everything I wanted but more. I did find factory paperwork in the truck that said Dec 14 if that gives you some kind of idea,,,
  11. HMMM the reply I posted concering the Lightning versus EcoBoost. I attached a link for a youtube video but it doesn't show up on here. Anyway do a search on you tube. Cars.com had a 3.7L and a 3.5L at the drag strip, pretty good info. EcoBoost running mid 14's. Wish I knew what gears they had..B
  12. Thanks for the info. I would have never known. I have the Nav system so it is prob the same process. When I have time I will have to take a look and post some pics on here..Thanks again...B
  13. I use to bracket race Mustangs. Never owned a Lightning. Can;t write much heading to work. Horsepower numbers don't do much for me. I was beating guys who had Cobras with my GT. There is a lot more factors to drag racing like chassis and the driver. If I remember correctly didn't the Lightning have 255 tires, a 4 speed auto, and 3.55 rear end? Someone correct me if I am wrong but those numbers i don't recall. Guess I could look them up. Just goes to show how good Ford is doing. It is crazy they are making a V6 with 365hp and 420 ft/lbs. You an also equip it from the factory with a bunch of rearends, even down to 4.10's. Mine has 3.73's. I think it would be cool to race a stock lightning to an Ecoboost. Some entertainment to kill time...B
  14. Thanks.. I can't give you guys any mileage numbers yet but I keep track of it with a program on my IPod. Will let you know when I get accurate info. Right now I am trying to figure out why the radar info isn't pulling up on the Nav system. The map pulls up but no radar image. On another screen the weather data comes up for today and the 5 day forcast. I am thinking it might be a setting but that is just a guess. One thing i found, along with others, is if you have a HTC EVO phone it likes to discount from Sync. My fix is to shut the WiFi off and so far that keeps the bluetooth from disconnecting. Now if i could remember where I read the EVO isue on the net so I can post my fix....B
