2018 ford 5.0 rcsb

[truckguy82]

Has anybody seen how fast these things are?

 

With the 10speed auto they are running 13.3 1/4mile stock.

 

with a tune they are hitting high 12’s.

 

That is nuts for a non performance oriented truck!

 

Pretty much one of the fastest stock pickups ever made. I think the regular cab srt10 is the only thing that’s faster.

 

The mustang with the coyote/10speed is also very fast.

 

Ford knocked it out of the park with the 10speed, which is hilarious since they co-developed it with GM, and ours do pretty much nothing to improve performance.

The 2019s will have the ten speed on the I6 duramax and the 6.2, hopefully the 6.2 will put down some good numbers

The new escalade has the 10 speed and it actually got slower by a hair.

 

Theres a guy on youtube with a ‘19 sierra denali and he does some not so official 0-60’s, and it certainly doesn’t seem any faster, if not slower.

Then again the tahoe rst is pretty quick, maybe gm actually put some effort into tuning it.

There is a place a couple hours from me that sells Roush supercharged rcsb 2wd 5.0 F150's.  650 hp and approx $46,000 with warranty.

Where did you run across this?

The 1/4 mile will have little to ZERO effect on sales. GM focuses on comfort and utility of their trucks more than 1/4 mile numbers.

Now that is funny no matter who you are. Once of the goals of the 2019 was to bring back some of the comfort GM lost over the years. I know the AC system was overhauled. Still waiting to see if the softened up rock hard the leather like seats yet.

I don’t know anything about the comfort GM lost over the years. My last and only GM was a 66 Nova! It had ZERO comfort!

 

Ha ha.. you’re correct about the leather seats! They are kinda hard in my 2017.. NOBODY makes a better seat than Volvo. Nothing wrong with the AC though.

 

Just saying 95% of buyers don’t care about 1/4 mile numbers..

This should be true but I believe these 1/4 mile numbers are very important to some buyers.

Unfortunately you're correct.  

 

However, that is not a special edition Ford.  It just happens to be there V8 that's optional in just about any truck configuration and trim with the 10 speed and can be had with 3.55 gears.

Performance numbers are important to anyone who has to merge in traffic. Running around on country roads I wouldn’t care as much.

A buddy was interested in one, so I checked them out on the ford forums. Lots of guys taking them to the track with time slips.

Well it is kinda funny when you can buy a lowly rcsb from ford with the 5.0 coyote 4 fwd for 34,000 or so and GM you pay 50,000 to 60,000 for truck with 6 .2 hoping you can beat it in a street light fight .

Had to turn this into ford vs gm lol.

 

I don’t care about the 1/4 mile time specifically, but I do care very much how fast it is.

 

Some of us have to drive trucks everyday. Trucks are slow and generally not fun to drive. I personally want all the performance I can possibly get with the utility needed. It makes my day that much more enjoyable.
