They do go pretty good... I have a single cab with the 8sp, 3.92, and anti spin and on occasion I’ll let the wife drive it to work... I can hear my poor Nittos screaming for help when she’s taking off from the stop sign down the street.... she says she’s not used to it... I said don’t press down so hard!

The 8 speed with 3:21 gearing is quicker than the 5 speed with 3:92 due to the gearing ratios in the 8 speed.

I will miss the snap when I put 35s on it, thats why I plan on the upgrade to 3:92s.
Would like to throw a good tune on the truck and tune the transmission as well but will see if I end up with the funds for that since it cost so much on these new trucks.

Can't even imagine what the 8 speed/3.92 combo is like...

Mine is pretty impressive! Even though I have Never gone WOT from a dead stop!

From a 55mph roll my ex coworkers 2017 1/2 ton F150 4 door EB pulled me pretty hard.

From a dead stop—>It would be a joke due to I would just sit there & spin with the stock Goodyear’s.

You are correct. The *** is an intermediary between the BBB and the feds, with regard to truth in advertising. While comforming to their "judgements" are voluntary, companies abide by them for the most part. They know that if they do appeal and/or decide to file a Fed case, the ***'s decision will weigh heavily on the Fed's consideration because, well, the *** is the actual specialist in these matters.

Rampant does come across as an Ass , and he does seem to have it out for Burla sometimes ( as do others ) but he does post up some good info ...

I think the difference between the 2 are BBB Big Bad Burla is facts in advertising and BBB Better Business Bureau is truth in advertising. A fine line between splitting the 2.

I'll say this : I agree with just about everything Burla says here on the Syn thread .... Also both my ex wife & my current wife , most of my family and every girlfriend I've ever had says I'm an ass , oh and they all say ...it's not what you say but how you say it . LOLthis is nearly impossible for me to detect in myself but very easy for me to see in others [emoji848][emoji848][emoji16]
