Agree 100%. I had an original 5.0 coyote truck 2011 and it pulled harder than any half ton I’d ever had. And this one a decade later is the same. It rips.
75mph 2nd gear all over the road burnout, instantly.
It lights up tires as fast as the srt.
So it's basically a mustang GT with a really big trunk.....

Does yours have the selectable drive modes? With her driving in Eco, she can average 20mpg-ish but it's like it has a dead pedal, I hate it. Sport is awesome, it's like it added 100hp but it's too touchy for daily driving. Normal mode is what I drive around in and get 17-19ish usually. I need to figure out what gear its got :hmm:
Yeah it does.
And yesterday it gained another mode. Pumpkin mode. That’s where it gains 12 neutrals.
POS turned into a brick in the driveway. Fckin fix or repair daily.
8 hours later after disconnecting the battery several times it’s fine. Whatever…..

Oh ****! That's no bueno. Thankfully hers has not had any issues and it's still under warranty. I told her the minute it's out of warranty we're getting rid of it

Exactly why I don't like newer cars/trucks. Sooooo many electrical gremlins either currently happening or just waiting to happen lol

Yup! I feel like that too. My OBS trucks are as new as I want, unless it has a good extended warranty.

I did a ton of research and my Ram is still simple enough, I felt comfortable with it. It has way fewer things that are "integrated" than a Ford or GM does, they're barely any harder to work on than an NBS

I finally sold the Caprice (page 1 of this thread) last month after much procrastination, having owned it since it was new. Replaced it with this over 2 years ago. Still only has 17K miles.

That rusty, filty thing which I love for being so versatile, but also hate for how annoying it is to work under the hood of that thing.
2004 WRX Wagon, slightly modded, with mix of performance and off road mods, lifted, with skid plate, shorter and tighter diffs, but with stiff sway bars, better exhaust and more boost for some on road performance. I like how I can kind of street race it with a short section of mud bogging in between while not having to worry a bit about scratching it, because it is already pre-scratched and rusted :)

Also equipped with not one, but two pre-heaters so in the morning engine is ready for fun and no window scratching in the winter :)

Cool little car. I have a 2007 Forester XT Limited. It had a WRX turbo on it before I bought it. The previous owner had it up to 354HP on the dyno. He took it back to stock to pass emissions to sell to me, and I told him to leave it stock, as I didn't want to deal with swapping turbos every two years to pass emissions testing.
