[@brooksschneider3441]

My idea of the perfect truck. It reminds me of the 79 Chevy 2WD short box I had, except I bought that for $4,500 when it was 3 years old. Granted, it didn't have all of the luxury items this one does, but it served me well and I could fix almost anything myself. Of all of the vehicles I've owned in the last 50 years, it's the one I miss most.

[@MotecM]

FYI - if you want one of these Regular Cab Short Bed trucks, you’ll likely need to have it ordered for you. I was told that Ford doesn’t let dealers stock these under normal circumstances, and most dealers outside of Texas don’t have much demand for them…

I'm not wanting to mess up and blow a motor. The most I will do is have it tuned.

[@stevekovacs4093]

I've owned a few short bed regular cabs over the years. They were great, powerful and comfortable. Ram had something like this until a few years ago. Chevy only makes them for Mexico /export. This truck could be cheaper yet if it weren't four wheel drive, I think that's a 5000 dollar option.

[@MrDanielmarlowe]

Be cool to jack it up and supercharge it but use a Roush only. Whipple will blow it up.

[@nathanmcdonald610]

Not even remotely the same engine. The old 5.0L Windsor that your 98 Explorer has in it shares only displacement with the modern day 5.0L Coyote. The Coyote is a DOHC TI-CVT V8 the Windsor is a much simpler pushrod OHV setup.

[@jesslesko3122]

Different 5.0. Your explorer is running a Windsor 5.0 (also known as the 302 Windsor, yes, that same Windsor from the 60’s mustangs, just updated and changed over the years.) The 5.0 in this particular truck Ben is reviewing is 5.0 Coyote, first produced in 2010 for 2011 model year mustangs and half tons. Your 5.0 is still a wicked motor, but they’re not related in anyway, other than sharing their displacement (5.0/302).

[@nrxhavoc]

What about the 700+hp actual sleeper build truck that was offered? a few videos on youtbue but no one driving one...

[@1234tellmewhatyourlookingfor]

Dealers are going to bump everything. He said 63 for everything,you need tires.and sales tax. Just the just the V 8 power vs weight is really good. I suppose if you do not have dealer provide super charger and install you lose warranty. A while back I was quoted 18000 to turbo a Ram express single cab. It was a well know speed shop. He was sure it would run in 10 second range. I paid 22000 for the truck with a good trade to take off taxes. With wheels and tires then it would have been a 45000 dollar beast. That was a while back. With bolt ons and tune I got it to 500 hp. It was a low 13 second truck. This truck when finished will smoke a Vett. I wonder about transmission and u joints holding along with rear end. Even at 750 hp that's 240 addional hp. Also on Mopar you cannot just super charge a 392 and boost it to over 700 hp. The Hell cat was built to with stand the power and the redeye was built stronger than the hellcat at 800 stock hp. You would have to know if the 5.0 could take that much boost for an extended time. The weight is only 4700 on the Ford you would not need so much to get 600 hp.

[@jeffstone7912]

All it needs is bigger tires. I would not change the wheels. If you are making A real sleeper a two wheel drive should be even better. Also, 2wd is reliable.

[@ghytujhg3w427]

[@Ukrainianification]

Before you strap a blower to it get some brakes

[@MySledgeHammer]

These types of prices is what happens when manufacturers quit building cars and moved to building trucks that customers wanted. It is was an away for rye manufacturers to raise their truck prices and over price a basis work truck. But in my opinion a basis work truck would be minus the V8 engine - auto transmission - 4 wheel drive and rear locking differential. It would be interesting how much less this truck would be without the things I mentioned. Back in the sixties let’s say 1965 even a radio was optional on a basis truck as was the cloth interior even a passenger sun visor was an option along with carpeting wasn’t included. A truck as I mentioned without the list of things would be the basic work truck. Minus those things maybe roughly ten grand could be deleted from its price. BTW In 1965 a pickup similar to this one but a six cylinder engine - stick shift - 2 wheel drive according to Nada was about $2,300 bucks. I am 78 now and can remember tow trucks or a really basic truck didn’t have four wheel drive even an ash tray was an option as was a cig lighter.

Nice truck-Almost!!! I bought a brand new 2014 mustang GT Stick shift, as everyone knows basically the coyote (Gen 1) motor had 420 flywheel HP and the redline rpm was approximately 8K rpm. The newer gen 4/5 were at least 460 hp. Why does this 2024 sleeper only have 400hp and from what I’ve seen 6/6.5 K redline? Just Sayin!

[@ChuckThree]

Cam profiles favor low end torque over peak horsepower, hence the lower redline. Easily changed with tuning.

[@aarontsosie9807]

Do I review on the red truck in the video.

More like mid to high 13s. Hano Motorsports (KZbin channel) has a 2023 RCSB F-150 that he’s gotten into the 11s without boost or nutritious. I believe weight loss, exhaust, intake manifold, suspension work, wheels/tires and an E85 tune. Pretty wild.
