Again in October I purchased a 2011 Cayman 6MT that I assumed can be my occasional driver and “enjoyable” automobile. Seems I completely love the rattling factor and drive it virtually solely whereas my 2016 M235 6MT sits with a tragic panda face. I used to suppose the M235 was an distinctive sports activities coupe, however the Cayman has wrecked it for me. I am wavering on promoting the M235 to my son and getting a brand new single cab, brief mattress F150 XLT 2wd with the 5.0 and 10 velocity auto. I’ve at all times wished a full-size single cab V8 truck and the F150 matches the invoice properly. With the 5.0, 10 velocity (it ain’t no ZF 8 velocity although) and lightweight chassis (for a truck), they will boogey. In inventory type, they’re within the deep into 13s on pump gasoline which might be positive for me and there are many mods to make it a lot faster if I wished. Provided that these a brilliant uncommon vans, I would must order it and it appears like it might are available round $44K (LOL truck costs).
I’ve watch a ton YT movies and have completed my very own analysis, however does anybody have any expertise with the later gen 5.0s and/or the ten velocity auto? I am curious if there are any pink flags as I am not discovering every other than most Ford sellers suck and Ford reliability is mid pack at greatest.
