Does every F-150 try to race your Tremor?

Another funny thing too is even if you were racing them. You would probably beat them unless they either spent $75000 on their truck or modified it. All while still getting far better fuel mileage while racing. I did a couple full throttle blasts in our Tremor on the highway straight to 80mph from the gas pump and the mileage indicator still showed 18-19 mpg in full race mode. Uphill on a ramp!!
I think its really a good platform aside from the transmission. Especially the Tremor. Think about it add sport mode, swap the turbo, exhaust, and intakes out. Then tune it. Suddenly you have the equivilent of a 90s supercar that can haul a set of race tires and a jack in the bed.
Should we start a fundraiser to send Dueces out on HotRods Drag Week tour??

Super funny I was driving my Tacoma and had someone clearly offended by me getting up to 35 before them after leaving the light? I guess... I still don't know what goes through people's heads but I digress... I had gears and a tune in it just to keep the MPGs respectable. It was no slouch with the tune and 4.88's even with 285/70R17s.
Speed limit goes from 35 to 45 and they always have to be in front there or try to speed to 45 early, so I get up to 35 quicker not even trying to and that's when this DB floored it past me, probably hitting 50+ well before the 45 zone, so still 35. No reason to even get up to 45 in that zone either because so many people are turning on both sides and the road is on a small grade uphill then flattens out where you can get to 45 without having to waste so much fuel in under a quarter mile. Responsible drivers always get up to 45 after the little hill and congested area.
Anyways, guess what the next vehicle to pass me was?
The cop that pulled him over.
Could resist the double honk as I passed going the speed limit.

Yesterday I was on a road trip to and from Whistler, BC and had two newer gen Ranger drivers raced me on the highways on both the Canadian and US side. I’ve yet to encounter this with full size truck owners but, c’mon man you drive a damn Ranger like I’m impressed with how big your manhood is.

since I own both the Maverick is no slouch but the Ranger wins the race. My wife calls me a 66 YO juvenile delinquent…

its not so much the race, it’s the angry manner in which they do it. The F-150s stomp on it, lose control half the time, won’t look at you and try to act like Billy Badass. It’s not so much a race, but some kind of weird exhibition of manhood or something with them.
At the end of the day, they are both slow-ass trucks is why i just think it’s so ridiculous. Other Corvette drivers wave at me when they see me. F-150 drivers have some kind of chip on their shoulder.
these are the same fools dragging ass in the left lane on the freeway for miles 99% of the time, too.

You would too; if your truck mortgage payment was past-due, you just dropped a Benjamin in your tank and your gas gauge still wasn't on F.
