lol true

would make it a hell of a tow truck whenever i got a trailer, but at 105k miles it could probably use some freshening up

Very true. On both fronts. With turbos being "low-impact" and efficiency driven, a little freshening up of that 4.6/5.4 and you'd be set.

Then again, when I had my '08, I was days away from pulling the trigger on a BB Boss Block with the guidance of Bruce, and then it was totaled by an Expedition from Oklahoma. :disgust:

4x4 are EVERYWHERE in Texas! A lot of mall crawlers here, including myself. My original plan was a lightening type truck with 4wd for added traction but the wife vetoed that. She liked lifted so I went in that direction.

My wife decided she was all about the lifted truck world this year too. I'm not going nearly as crazy as yours (although the thought of the TRD blower has crossed my mind). Gorgeous truck by the way.

Get the blower!!! It's a bit conservative but the low end torque is great. My buddy put one on his '14 and loved it

Gonna bring this thread back to life. Any update on the DOB setup for the 2015+ F150? Pics, cost, what parts you went with etc. Looking at doing a TVS setup on my F150 in the near future and I might end up going this route.

The manifolds have always been available. But it's still in the "hot rod" stage. A couple of customers have done it.

I won't be doing a full kit until, I get a F150 in to do it on. Which will be January.

A 5.0 crew cab to tow with a DOB setup would be very nice.

I love my EcoBoost............................but since I did the GT550 manifold I wish I had gotten a Yote truck. A mild blown (525-550hp) daily driver F-150 would be great.

Me too! Holy crap truck have gotten expensive. I thought my 2012 FX4 was big bucks. The new stuff is insane! I'll have this truck for a minimum of 10yrs. Maybe 12. Which means my next truck may be the last truck I ever buy.
