[QUOTE="Mogo, post: 812282, member: 7030"] Love the overall design. However, what is the point of mean-looking dual rear exit exhaust when the noise that comes out of that exhaust is going to sound like some rice burner non-sense? I think most of us would prefer a snarling, big-nuts, free breathing V8, fuel economy be damned. Some people actually feel like that is part of the charm of our trucks; they are a big heavy land pig that pounds the earth into submission rather than glide over the top. Mother nature can get bent. It's not like the MPGs kept Ford from selling every single Raptor that they've made. As another member here put it lately, driving our trucks across the desert at 100mph should be an assault on the senses. The TT3.5L is fast, and makes good power, but it's also pretty quiet, and when you do get it up to full honk, it sounds like a Hoover. Hopefully Ford has a change of heart by the time this thing is ready for production and offers a V8 option. I just wish they had given the 6.2L a little TLC to bring it into the 21st century.
