mchan68 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Really Ford? How about NOT discontinuing V8 engine production altogether and at the very least keeping it alive for those few of us who prefer a V8. http://www.roadandtrack.com/go/news/the-2015-ford-f-150-pumps-v8-engine-noise-into-v6-trucks?src=soc_fcbks I think if this trend of "V8 killing" continues, I may end up looking to the other brand "x" manufacturers for my next vehicle purchase.

Matt Saunoras Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 That's the lamest thing I ever heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Mutter Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I think the mustang has the same thing going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy57 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 While they are at this active sound cancelling and active sound enhancement biz I would like to request that they add ANC for farts. I would like to fart in a vehicle full of passengers and not have to apologize. Silent ones would leave everyone in the truck trying to figure out who did it.

batmantech Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Wow and I thought flipping over the air cleaner cover was lame. This is a whole new level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Flipping the air cleaner on a q jet sounds bad ass when you get into the secondaries. Lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselD Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Yep this is really lame, The Focus ST is the same way, My brother in law has one and guess what? That fake engine noise BS has been full of bugs. Obviously people still want the sound of a v8 as they are having to fake it. I get the v6 ecoboost stuff but yeah I really hope the V8 does not go away completely. I love F150s but I can tell you if I was not able to buy a V8 in a TRUCK! I would be looking at something else. hopefully they keep the 6.2 around for a long while, yeah they have shit mileage but run great, much better the the 5.4 or 6.8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Saunoras Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 My brother bought a brand new 14 F-150 with a 5.0 and the first thing he did was have a glass pack put in place of the factory muffler. It was definitely worth it. First thing I did to the 6.0 was get an exhaust sans muffler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy57 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 One of these days we will be talking about removing sound panels so we can hear all 6 phases when we stand on the pedal in our electric trucks.......... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselD Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 One of these days we will be talking about removing sound panels so we can hear all 6 phases when we stand on the pedal in our electric trucks.......... Nah we will still have a diesel engine powering the electric motors. Kinda like a train Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
