Sold my fox for a 2011 f150

fox04 · Sep 6, 2011

Well i recently sold my fox to buy a new 2011 f150. As much as i didnt want to I needed a new DD. But to my suprise i love the truck. I wanted a 5.0 truck but settled for a oxford white single cab with the 3.7 and 3.55 gears. The truck is suprisingly pretty quick. I took it to the track for some baseline numbers. It went 15.5 @ 87 mph not too bad imo. Getting custom tuned with a 75-100 shot and hopping for some low 14s

Nice. My '06 F150 FX4 is 10X the daily driver my Fox body could ever be. My only complaint is the mileage....but yours probably won't be as thirsty as mine.

Leave the DD alone, save and buy another project. Trust me on this one. My Silverado I've owned for about 6 years and it's all stock, even the radio, and I service the hell out of it and it's still an awesome truck.

Plus what you want to do you will void the warranty. Don't think they won't know, they know how to tell.

Seriously, listen to this. If you put a shot on it, it will still run 14's, which is still slow. If you run 14's with nawz, you might be a ricer.

If you wanted something with more power you shoulda bought the 5.0 or the ecoboost.

Serious? The truck would be nice but throwing spray at it? You're crazy

I completely agree. My keep my Tacoma stock (except for a small lift/bigger tires) and dump all my extra money into the Fox. I did the same thing you did back in 2003. Sold my 87 GT T-top for a new Ranger. I still regret it. Save up for another Fox

I agree with the others. Get another project. My bone stock down to the paper filter 2008 Tundra double cab w/5.7 runs low 14's all day. I have had different types of newer modified trucks for 10 years. My Tundra will be paid off in 2 years and I can't wait. The fox is paid for, so I can do whatever I want to it. My 6 speed auto tranny in my truck probably cost about 5k new, I would hate for that thing to blow if I started moding my truck. I left all else alone. But congrats on the new ride.

New cars are a terrible waste of money IMO. Could have spent half the money on a used one and still kept the fox for a sunny day.

Keep the daily driver stock

Blow up the engine in your new f150 using nitrous and you'll be bankrupt fixing it.

You can run low 14's with a $1500 fox.

Why the **** would you buy a heavy ass truck to go fast? If i'm not mistaken the whole concept of a truck is to haul **** not to take down 1/4 mile. Buying a new truck is also waste of money imo.

Well put...
Trucks are for hauling crap, not a$$.

Lightnings and diesel pickups are the only acceptable trucks to make fast.

citmov · Sep 8, 2011

Love the lightning! But I'd never sell my fox for one EVER.

1bad67sbf · Sep 8, 2011

my 07 supercrew DD on 35's and 3.55 turns low 15's around 89mph. i could try to make it faster but why? buy a good programmer, exhaust and enjoy. wait for the warranty to die first

No point, its a 6 cylinder so it'll just sound like a rice burner

Yeah the Diesel trucks are sick now a days. My friends 2008 F250 Supercrew Powerstroke put down 525hp and 1033ftlbs on the dyno with a few simple mods and a built tranny. It's fun driving around a 8300 pound truck that runs 12's....you should see the look on people's faces when they get left behind in a cloud of coal smoke

The original poster did not buy a heavy truck or a powerful one....

It's too bad you didn't spring for the Ecoboost V6. That sucker seems to be putting all of the current V8 trucks to shame.
