Sleeper TRX

[Montana_]

Oh but it is.

Not on any truck with a supercharger exactly.
But rather any truck with Ford’s own supercharger retains full factory warranty.

That’s a Whipple running a conservative ford-engineered tune and installed by a ford Dealer.

It’s not a dealer warranty or a whipple warranty, it’s a Ford warranty all the same.

But I haven’t heard much about issues with folks supercharging Coyotes, either on their own or through Ford Performance. The Coyote is stout.

And so I have hopes that the Hemi comes back similarly, with all forged internals and dual injection. Then it will be a candidate for any material amount of boost, like the 6.2 was.

Yea the only real exception would be a Shelby brand vehicle, which becomes a Shelby warranty. Even then, there are still FORD parts so FORD is covering a vast majority of the warranty as well.

I'd love to see RAM actually competing with these things, but they just don't. They offer the TRX, or the new v6 equivalent RHO, and both are far from sleepers.

We need more actual sleepers. I fell in love with the single cab F150's running those setups as soon as I saw them. I have no brand loyalty, least of all to Stellantis. Back in the day, sure, Dodge... but not so much anymore. I also hope they bring back the 5.7 and stop being so damn boring. Guarantee if you give people the option you are going to sell some v8 monsters.

Like Subaru lol... holy crap they fell off a cliff with their boring ahh vehicles

Anyways, here is a pretty basic video on the F150's. They are hands down the "muscle" of todays vehicles.

yes it is. and nope not interested.
anyways, hopefully i saved OP some money. between the questionable "build plan" and someone running spacers complaining, that's enough time spent on this. unfollowing this mickey mouse madness.

I gotta poop

I can kind of see what OP is trying to do. Personally I think my truck is old enough now to not worry about messing up my warranty anymore if I would end up wearing something out or what have you if I Whipple’d it. Compared to trading in (for a TRX?) and throwing more money at it for fenders, axles and what not I think I will save more than enough to pay for a transmission rebuild or whatever, if needed.

Any problem can be solved with enough money.

But you’d spend way more “streeting out” a TRX than you’d spend Modding a 1500, by the time you account for swapping the fenders and other body work. And you’d murder a TRX’s resale on top of it, and I still wouldnt be super confident from a reliability standpoint having swapped I weaker-spec axles.

So from a financial standpoint, I think money is better spent on a Procharger and some street suspension for your 1500, or even a Hellcat Swap would be cheaper or at least a draw.

Or… if you just got the TRX I’ve seen some people paint to match the fender flares and other various bits and it helped to reduce the brodozer look.

You are confused. This is the Brodozer look.
