In what world does a 5.4 0-60 translate to a 1/4-mile time of 15.2 seconds at ANY trap speed? Especially 104 mph!?

this is the ''lost 3rd gen'' its a 500hp and 480-540lb-ft version from 2005-2008. the 2nd gen (most common) from 99-01 it was 360hp and 440lb-ft and from 01-04 it was 380hp and 450lb-ft - 2nd gen engine was based off the mustang svt cobra r which was 385hp and 380lb-ft... the truck packed more torque.
id love to see a super pickup 1 mile drag... this lost 3rd gen vs tundra trd sc... new raptor the new rebel trx vs dodge ram srt-10. all super pickups over 500hp, if ive missed any let me know!

The Ford F150 is the best selling truck in America, the best selling vehicle in America, as a matter of fact. The Ford F-Series pick ups have been the best selling trucks for about 40 years, and over the past few years, pick up trucks have outsold every other type of vehicle in the U.S. It is a decent truck, but I'll take my Dodge any day, its reliability can't be surpassed.
