Anybody want to talk me out of it?

Yea me... lol

 

I have seen Tuscany`s conversions up close so before you spend up to $100k for a Tuscany Truck with the Shelby name on it I suggest you look at one in person as that is a lot of cash for a truck. Tuscany`s prior gimmick or Truck was the Black Ops which they may still offer but at the price they were charging the parts used were not up to par.

 

Personally, I would do a Shelby Raptor instead

I have seen it up close and have driven it, I like it. I am trading in my `13 Whipple SC Raptor on it, the Shelby F-150 has more HP and torque than my Raptor, and the new Raptor is not to my liking with the V6, so for my towing and sport truck needs, this is about the only choice.

This new F150 what is the MPG 10? hahaha

My Raptor gets 12.

Great Example- More truck for your money IMO, especially if you tow.

Had a Ford mechanic tell me he already had to replace a tranny in one. Mentioned he didn`t think the tranny was up to the truck. No details so take it for what it`s worth. Saw one at a show last weekend and it`s an awesome truck!

Have you looked into the new aluminum F250? Big time tow rating, gorgeous interiors and option list.

Thanks yes, too big, ride is very harsh compared to Raptor/Shelby with the soft springs, and I don`t want a diesel to get my HP and torque with.

Congrats!!!!

What color?

OK, done deal, I`ll post pictures when I get it. Really, really hate to say goodbye to Ralph Raptor, but........

If you traded the Raptor what did the dealer give you for it?

Considering selling my extreme low mileage Raptor and buying an F350 Super Duty DRW Diesel

Hard to tell, but I think about $45K. I had 37K miles on it.

Thanks all, here she is:

I am a bit amazed at the tech advances on this F150 vs. the Raptor of just 3 years ago. It`s like night and day, so many new, very useful features and improvements. It runs just as fast as my Whipple SC Raptor and the engine is much smoother and the cabin much quieter, ride is about the same, excellent for a truck.

But one odd thing, they do not equip it to tow, no trailer brake controller for instance, guess I will have to go to U-Haul and have one installed to tow my car trailer. I guess you are not supposed to want to use this to tow, but they should at least put that on, not much expense there, oh well......

Looks nice. Is it at least pre-wired for a brake controller? I hope there`s not something about the setup that makes it unsuitable for towing.

Me too, the dealer is looking into it, I assumed all F150s were set up to tow, but I guess the trailer brake controller is an odd, dealer added option?

Hey Mike, nice truck. I looked at a red Shelby f150 online and that unit had the new trailer assist option. I am sure you can get a brake controller. I just got one for my Expedition at Advance. $75. Enjoy your ride !

The brake controller and the upfitter switches has to be ordered with the truck. Installing after the fact will be different than factory and one reason why I order every single vehicle I buy
