Test drove one a couple of weeks ago. You can tell its a big car, it drives big but it does go. It weighs as much as my F150 though. Beautiful interior but for a larger person the center console might be a problem as it occupies a good deal of the front area. A close friend of mine just got a 2010 King of the Road Shelby and allowed me to drive it. This car will blow your mind. 750hp and it all hooks up!

0-60 in under 3 seconds! It handles like a dream as well, just unbelievable.

Yep, it has the DI. All of 4's and 6's will have DI moving forward, with turbo options on the sporty versions of the 4's and 6's. The turbo six will be rolled out to the F150 in a year or two.

Haven't heard if the new V8 will have DI or not, they are being pretty tight lipped about that engine. That ones supposed to be 400 ponies.

The 2011 (early 2010) f150 should have the v6 in it, the gas v8 will also be out in the 2012 f150, (late 2011) the 2011 F350 diesel will have an all new Ford built 6.7 diesel. Ford has decided to break ties with Navistar after 27 years. This engine is suppose to have more power, and a lot better fuel economy.

Looks like a lot of good things to come in the near future for Fords.

I love turbos and awd!!! pretty good for a land yacht, I do have to say. Going into the 12's is a accomplishment with any car much less one that big.

That thing is almost as fast as my talon. almost... grin

GM has the DI as well as the Optimax, HPDI and Etec outboards. I don't think I'd lose any sleep over this as it IS the way of the future.

On a side note, did you see where Ford has overtaken most of the imports in quality rankings?? GM and Chrystler, not so much.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
