Silverado_George Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 You gotta do fair comparisons, take into consideration that the 4 cylinder for weighs MUCH less than these trucks, these trucks are a little over 5k pounds while that ford was probably around 3k... lighter car equals winning, try racing a more fair comparison like a 5.7 hemi ram from the same era..

SS-GTP Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 You say it's just a 4 cyl, but I'm guessing its a Ecoboost 4 cyl (2.0L), so that means its a 4cyl capable of making the same power as a small V8 over a very wide speed range and weighs less.

johnS Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 Yes the gear ratio's and weight at 40 - 45 won't beat much Try a slower start so your truck will drop into first gear then you'll get a better start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
